This programme brings together schools across England to strengthen Reception year provision and help more children to start school feeling confident and ready to thrive.
The RISE Reception Networks initiative has been established to improve early years practice nationally and contribute to the government’s aim that 75% of children achieve a Good Level of Development by 2028.
Lead Schools within the programme support other settings by sharing effective practice, building professional networks and contributing to national early years development work.
As a designated Lead School, we are a regional point of expertise for Reception provision. Our responsibilities include:
We also work with national hubs to promote consistency and quality across early years services.
We are currently finalising the dates for our open event and virtual session for the summer term 2026 and will be sharing details about these very soon.
