Do you have a link to those legal requirements and guidelines?

Saffron, I'm also not sure about reception teachers giving homework, other than a book to take home to look at but they have to look at every individual child.


The only legal requirement for reception teachers is to complete the Early Years Foundation Stage Profile (EYFSP) on each individual child at age 5.


Give the teachers time to get to know the children and they usually have a parents evening soon.


Under the EYFS and from Sept. 12, childminders and nurseries have to do a developmental check on a child age 2, so I can understand why schools have to keep an eye on things at age 4 otherwise Ofsted wouldn't be able to grade them accordingly.

    • I can't, but I'm sure ChatGPT could, if you ask it! With Windows 11, you can share documents, eg with work colleagues, via a setting. Probably it's the same with iPads etc and the solicitor has accidentally or deliberately shared it with your friend? I'm sure the solicitor can explain it if asked. Hopefully it wasn't an accident!
    • Yes of course a lot of it is total bollocks. And of course the House of Lords is ridiculous. But the class system etc isn't because we have a "royal family", is it?
    • Can't remember where I got them, online somewhere recommended by my daughter, but they are cloth and brightly coloured and fit quite tightly around my nose and mouth. I've still got a stock of them. Tissues inside might help a bit,  but if you have a very runny nose you basically need to keep removing the mask to blow it. Luckily I have only had to go out once when I've had  a bad cold. Sorry, probably too much information.
