At Newington, the children will be baselined in a variety of ways. We have the reception baseline assessment (RBA) and our own school assessments. All of which, helps us to find your child’s starting points and entry assessment levels. This in turn helps us plan accordingly to your child’s stage of development. The RBA has been a statutory assessment since 2021. All reception pupils must take it if they attend a maintained school.

We also complete a speech and language screening on your child to identify if they need any further support in their use of language or spoken speech sounds.

Further information and any results will be share with you.
