answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/06/2020 answer text <p>The Department has always been clear that the reception baseline assessment (RBA) is not a diagnostic assessment and should not be used to track or group individual children or hold early years settings to account. Data gathered from the assessment will only be used to create a baseline for school-level progress measures and will not be shared with schools, teachers, or parents. However, teachers will receive a series of short, narrative statements on how each child did at that time, which can be used to inform teaching.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 22/06/2020 16:48:43 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb
