Reception Baseline Assessment Funding 2015/16

The Department for Education (DfE) is introducing the reception baseline, a baseline assessment in reception year, to improve how we measure primary schools' progress.

DfE will cover the basic cost of the reception baselines for local-authority-maintained schools, academies and free schools who use an approved provider.

Maintained schools will receive the funding through the local authority. Academies and free schools will receive their funding direct from the EFA.

This payment will be made in December 2015 and will be available to view in your January 2016 download.
