RISE Reception Network 

We are delighted to announce that our school has been recognised by the Department for Education (DfE) as a Lead School within the RISE Reception Networks programme for the North East of England.

 

What reception networks offer 

Each network is led by a lead school, selected for its strong and sustained reception outcomes. These schools will work with other schools in their area to:  

  • facilitate professional discussions about teaching, learning, and leadership in reception

  • host open days and visits so peers can observe high quality reception practice 

  • share resources, tools, and approaches that help strengthen provision across the early years

  • hold regular virtual network meetings to make collaboration accessible, flexible and open to all schools in the network

This collaborative model is designed to complement - rather than replace - existing early years support, including stronger practice hubs, English and maths hubs and the work local authorities are doing to strengthen reception and GLD outcomes as part of the best start in life strategy. It ensures schools can easily access reception specific expertise when they need it.
