Reception teachers praised

Janet Frampton-Fell with some of the youngest children at St Edmund¹s School Canterbury

St Edmund’s School in Canterbury has been praised for the way it assesses its youngest children following its annual inspection. Highlighted as an example to other schools, the Local Education Authority assessor who visited the school rated its efforts outstanding, and said of its Reception teachers that their tracking and knowledge of each child’s abilities was exemplary.

Head of pre-prep at St Edmund’s, Janet Frampton-Fell, commented: ‘We are delighted to achieve this accolade from an independent assessor. The grade is not a reflection of how many bright children we have, but is actually about how we record and track children of all abilities. It shows how well we as teachers are doing in Reception, which in turn has important implications for the learning and progress of the children at this vitally important stage of their education.’
