How do we assess our teaching and learning?

St Mary’s Nurseries are keen to judge the impact of their nurseries teaching and learning and decided that the best way to do this was to request the end of the Foundation Stage judgements from each child’s Primary School. (We sought permission from parents prior to leaving St Mary’s Nursery- GDPR)

The feedback we have received will determine our focused areas of development for the future and hopefully will improve the children’s readiness for school, making the transition smoother for everyone concerned. 

We had 37 children leave to go to school in September 2017 to a total number of 16 Schools. 
We received the results from 6 Primary Schools for 26 children. Out of the 26 children 
22 were from Ethnic Background, 8 were summer born, 16 were EAL and 10 were boys. 
In addition to the 26 children, 4 children were monitored using the SEND Early Years Development Journal
