Notice Information

Notice Title

Reception Baseline Assessment in England

Notice Description

See 'Attachments' for full description. The Department for Education intends to run a competitive procurement process for the development and delivery of an assessment for Reception aged children to baseline their prior attainment at their point of entry to the English schools system (a Reception Baseline Assessment). The Government response to the 2017 Primary Assessment Consultation proposed the introduction of a new assessment in reception to be used to establish pupils' prior attainment as the starting point for calculating school level progress measures when pupils reach the end of key stage 2 (KS2). The target date to introduce this new baseline as a statutory assessment for all English state-funded primary schools is September 2020. The assessment will measure reception age children within the first half term of entering a school in England and provide the starting point for the progress measure that will be used for school accountability. Additional information: We would like to take this opportunity to invite you to a Supplier Briefing event. It will take place on Monday 11 December and will be held in our office in Sanctuary Buildings, London, from 10.30am to 12.30pm. It will be an interactive session involving a presentation and a Q&A session. Please RSVP to Reception.baseline@education.gov.uk by 4 December if you would like to attend. Due to space issues, we have to restrict places to two per organisation.
