This article has been brought to you by Slough Borough Council's Interim Senior Advisory Teacher EYFS & EYFS Moderation Manager, Sharon Rose on behalf of The Standards and Testing Agency. This is for the attention of all Heads, Assessment Leads and Reception Leads in maintained schools, Academies and Free Schools.

Information | Reception Baseline Assessment Materials

The Reception Baseline Assessment (RBA) will be statutory in schools from September 2021.

Schools will shortly receive their assessment resource pack. This will include important information about how they can get ready for the assessment in the lead up to the summer holidays.

If your school does not receive this delivery by the end of June, you should contact the RBA helpline on 0330 088 4171 or email receptionbaseline@nfer.ac.uk.

Reminder | Reception Baseline Assessment Confirmation Form

To help schools prepare for the RBA, headteachers were sent an email with a link to a short online form. This form captures key information about their school and gives headteachers the opportunity to nominate an RBA lead to oversee the day-to-day running of the assessment.

Headteachers should complete the confirmation form by Friday 18 June. If your school has not received a link, please contact the RBA helpline on 0330 088 4171 or email receptionbaseline@nfer.ac.uk.
