Establishing warm, trusting and responsive relationships with young children is at the heart of our early years practice. The main role of the adult is to develop children’s learning through high-quality interactions. During the first 3 weeks of the Autumn Term, teachers will make a baseline assessment to record the skills of each child on entry to school. After this, teachers will use individual and group assessments, in order to develop and implement necessary provisions. The statutory Reception Baseline Assessment (RBA) is also carried out for Reception children within the first 6 weeks.

Children’s WOW moments are shared via Tapestry, our online learning journey. We strongly encourage families to add their own images/observations from home in order to build a holistic view of children’s learning and development. Throughout school we also use Class Dojo as a method of communication.
