What is Baseline assessment in reception?
What is the Reception baseline assessment? The Reception baseline assessment (RBA) is an assessment of early mathematics and literacy. It's not a test as such, because of the age of the children being assessed. Instead, it's called an "age-appropriate assessment".
How is the reception baseline assessment recorded?
Raw scores will be recorded in the national pupil database and used to create a cohort-level progress measure for schools at the end of key stage 2. At the end of the assessment, a raw score is recorded for each pupil. The data is not age standardised and there is no pass mark/threshold.
