The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS)
Information for Parents: Reception baseline assessment (RBA)
If your child is starting school this September (2021) they will be participating in the Reception Baseline Assessment (RBA) within the first 6 weeks of starting Reception. The purpose of the assessment is to provide the starting point for a new measure that will help parents understand how well schools support their pupils to progress between Reception and Year 6 / the end of Key Stage 2.
The Foundation Stage
In Birchfield Primary Foundation Stage, we promote a love of learning within a safe and happy school environment. Every child is unique and important to us. Within the framework of the Foundation Stage Curriculum, we provide a creative and challenging curriculum and environment which encourages the children in our care to develop their learning, confidence and self-esteem.
At Birchfield, you will see a variety of learning in the areas of provision that are both indoors and outdoors. During the school day there is a balance of child-led learning and adult-directed tasks which are carefully planned to practise a particular skill.
