Reading moderation dates have now been arranged for the spring term, please see letter below along with supporting paperwork.
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.
