School Readiness Assessment

Dear Parents,

This document is the 'school readiness' assessment which is carried out on children going to school each academic year.

We assess the children in the Autumn Term to identify next steps for key workers to focus on, this is then repeated in the Summer Term to measure the children's progress. The information gained is shared with the child's reception teacher and forms part of the transition to school.

As the nursery has been closed for the past 12 weeks, some children may not have been practicing these essential skills in preparation for school life. We are asking you to use this document and continue to encourage the development of these targets, which were agreed collectively between Blackburn with Darwen Early Years providers and local schools. This will help with the transition from nursery to school for your child.

Thank you 

Stay Safe
