About the Webinar
On the 27th February, the Standards and Testing Agency released the Reception Baseline Assessment (RBA) Framework to help explain the purpose, format, content and cognitive demand of the assessment.
Despite the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, the baseline assessment is still expected to go ahead from September. That means that from September 2020, RBAs will be statutory for all maintained primary, first and infant schools. It will be used as a baseline measure to track children’s progress during primary school and will replace KS1 assessments.
This webinar will help primary school governors, headteachers, deputy headteachers and teaching staff to understand the new DfE Reception Baseline Assessments.
Ian Noone, an experienced education consultant and serving headteacher whose school has piloted the assessment, provides an invaluable insight into how the RBA works and what schools need to consider prior to national roll-out.
