<p>The reception baseline assessment (RBA) will enable us to create school-level progress
measures for primary schools which show the progress pupils make from reception until
the end of key stage 2. Progress is an important measure - it will give schools credit
for the important work they do with their pupils between reception and year 2 and
will give parents better information about which schools may help their children to
make the most progress. The RBA is not a test - it is a short, teacher-led assessment
and it will provide practitioners with valuable one-to-one time with their pupils
within the first few weeks of reception.</p><p>We have worked closely with early years
practitioners, schools and other education experts to develop the RBA, and continue
to do so. All aspects of the assessment’s development have been informed by an extensive
evidence base of early years research.</p><p> </p>
