Teaching Assistant In Reception
by Guest- 4 replies
- 4.7k views
After working in a sessional pre-school for 5 and half years, (as a deputy Supervisor) and recently moving on to another (sessional) pre-school to be Supervisor, which I hated (because of the pre-school, not the position) I am now looking for a change.

I was talking to someone from a nursery today who is most upset by a visit from the LEA quality assurance staff. They feel that because when her children start, they are beginning to work at yellow level but are only are beginning to work within green level when they leave for Reception, that they have only made satisfactory progress. This makes her setting only satisfactory. To be good they must be secure green, very good they would have to have acheived most ELG's, so goodness knows what outstanding means. This is a super Nursery which delivers the FS curriculum in the way it should be, and to be told that the children's progress is not good enough has shocked them all.…

Can anyone tell me what report-writing format they use, in the Foundation Stage? Also any report card comments. I’m finding it hard to find a suitable positive comment about one little girl in particular, who has made very little progress in her Social and Emotional development this term. Thanks Gill

I need you guys to give me some help. I am at present in Yr 6, going to reception in September. Next week I have to have a meeting with the new reception parents. Head teacher wants me to take the helm. Have asked presnt reception teacher for advice on what she has been saying over the last 8 years-she is not prepared to help me!! She is leaving under a cloud and isn't giving an inch. Anyway, I've thought about the usual-practicing getting dressed on own over the summer hols, able to go to toilet own own, buying polo shirt instead of long sleeved cotton shirt for uniform. But now I can't think what else I should say!! I will briefly explain what I plan to do abo…
