Ofsted published their report into ‘The Reception curriculum in a sample of good and outstanding primary schools’ called ‘Bold Beginnings’ last week. The opening comment states ‘A good early education is the foundation for later success. For too many children, however, their Reception Year is a missed opportunity that can leave them exposed to all the painful and unnecessary consequences of falling behind their peers.’ We will explore the key findings at the spring term LA leaders and managers meetings (5th and 6th March 2018) and explore how schools make sure their curriculum is ‘fit for purpose’.

To support Councils with the first year of delivery, and to enable them to support providers to deliver sufficient 30 hours places, the Department for Education (DfE) has established a Delivery Support Fund (DSF). This fund will be made available to Councils via a bid round. Funding will be available for work that directly benefits 30 hours delivery and will create (directly or indirectly) new 30 hours places for the 2018 Summer Term.
