Children taught well in reception ‘likely to earn more than peers’ in future
It has long been accepted that children’s early experiences can have the biggest impact on their later lives, and the first year of school gives teachers a chance to positively impact children’s long-term academic outcomes.Research using CEM’s baseline assessments has previously shown that children who are taught well in their Reception class experience a boost in academic attainment.
This boost gives long-term benefits and students go on to achieve better GCSE results in English and Maths, making the case for schools putting their best teachers in Reception classes.
