Pre School - 'Are you Ready for School'?

This information was available at parents evening:
These are the results of our 2017 school leavers. The children are assessed at the beginning and the end of their Pre School year.
Throughout the year staff incorporate these targets into the children's Individual Next Steps, Continuous Provision, Planned Activities and Working in Partnership with Parents to ensure school readiness.
Out of the 55 children that went to school: 40% were Boys , 45% were EAL, 16% SEND/ Speech and Language, 95% from Ethnic Background, and 36% were Summer Born.
