Reception is the final year of the EYFS and it is at the end of Reception that children are assessed as being emerging, expected or exceeding (1,2,3) across 17 areas of learning.
We track across the age related bands and make a summative judgement in May/June which we submit to Birmingham.

3. The EYFS Framework
Children should develop the three prime areas first.
These are:
Communication and language;
Physical development;
Personal, social and emotional development.

4. As children grow, the prime areas will help them to develop skills in four specific areas.
Literacy
Mathematics
Understanding the World
Expressive arts and design.
