Barriers to learning
 BARRIERS TO FUTURE ATTAINMENT

 Academic barriers:

 A          In reading, baseline assessments show 10% children have returned to school in Autumn 2020 at a lower attainment than in Spring 2020.

 B          In mathematics, baseline assessments show 16% children have returned to school in Autumn 2020 at a lower attainment than in Spring 2020.

 C          In phonics, children in Year 1 and Year 2 have missed teaching phases, leading to gaps in learning as they return to school in Autumn 2020.

 ADDITIONAL BARRIERS

 External barriers:

 D          Most children have been out of school since March 2020, which may affect their learning behaviour as they return in September 2020.

 E          Recent events may have affected the wellbeing of children.

 F          Some children will continue to be unable to attend school due to COVID-19 isolation periods, leading to low attendance.
