Reception Baseline Assessment (RBA)
The DfE have published the assessment and reporting arrangements to be used by headteachers and schools.
The RBA should demonstrate positive outcomes for all children as the assessment materials is suitable for children with hearing and or visual impairment and enables practitioners to support children with additional language, communication and literacy requirements such as children with English as an additional language (EAL).
The release states: ‘Pupils will complete practical tasks using physical resources, and practitioners will log their responses using an online platform. Pilot analysis showed that pupils took an average of just over 14 minutes to complete the tasks. Schools will receive narrative statements describing what each pupil was able to do’.
