Within the first six weeks of starting in Year R the children will complete the Reception Baseline Assessment (RBA). Parents and carers will receive information regarding this when their child starts school.

At this time teachers will indicate whether a child has met the expected level of development, or if they are not yet reaching expected levels. This information will be shared with parents and carers.
