 School Readiness  5.67 MB  [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/st-matthew-s-cofe-primary/files/documents/School_Readiness.pdf)

On entry to Reception your child will undertake the Reception Baseline Assessment (RBA). The RBA will be a short  activity-based assessment of pupils’ starting points in:

- Language, Communication and Literacy
- Mathematics

No numerical score will be shared with the school and the data will only be used at the end of year 6 to form the school-level progress measure.
For more information please read the parents guide below.
