The DfE has launched new support to help improve reception year quality and strengthen EYFS Profile (EYFSP) assessment. Reception networks are school-led, locally delivered networks focused on sharing strong, evidence-informed reception practice.

They are part of the government’s Best Start in Life strategy and the regional improvement for standards and excellence (RISE) universal offer to help schools improve the quality of reception-year provision.

There are two Reception Network schools covering the HISP regions:

• Front Lawn Primary Academy (The Kemnal Academies Trust)
• Marnel Community Infant School (Hampshire Local Authority)
