The revised framework, effective from September 2012, takes forward the Government’s reforms to the 2008 framework as recommended in the 2011 Tickell Review.
The reforms will:
-
Reduce paperwork and bureaucracy;
-
Strengthen partnerships between parents and professionals;
-
Focus on the three prime areas of learning most essential for children’s readiness for future learning and healthy development;
-
Detail the four specific areas of learning which build on the prime areas;
-
Introduce a progress check at aged two to provide for early intervention as necessary; and
-
Simplify assessment at age five – usually at the end of the reception year
