The DfE have announced that NFER is the preferred supplier of the reception baseline. The new statutory baseline will begin in autumn 2020 following trialling in schools. A summary of the new arrangements ‘Measuring progress in primary schools’ is available here. New Early Learning Goals should be available mid-May. Unfortunately Gill Jones and Sue Robb are unable to join us at the Bold Beginnings meeting [30th April] but we hope for a lively discussion.

Solihull Council is looking for people to sit on School Appeal Panels.
School Appeal Panels hear from parents who have applied for a school place but have been unsuccessful. They are held throughout the year during the day, but the majority will take place from May through to July.
We are specifically looking for people who have worked in a school or have a child/children attending a school in the borough.
This is a voluntary position and training will be provided. It will require a commitment of approximately six days a year.
For further information, please contact Jane Game, Democratic Services and Scrutiny Manager on 0121 704 6051 or email jagame@solihull.gov.uk
