Prime Areas Personal, Social and Emotional Development Physical Development Communication and Language Specific Areas Literacy Mathematics Understanding the World Expressive Arts and Design

MONITORING PROGRESS

Each of the 7 areas of learning has its own set of ‘Early Learning Goals’ which determine what most children are expected to achieve by the end of Reception Class. We record observations in an app called Tapestry using ipads and these observations are shared with you via the app where you can also comment and upload pictures from home. This will help us to gain a picture

school.

THE FIRST FEW WEEKS

We will find out what the children already know & can do. This will form an on-entry assessment, called a baseline. We will use this information to help us to plan their next steps and provide the best education and experiences. We would value any contributions you would like to make in helping us get to know your child’s needs.
