Teachers report fall in school readiness

We last asked on Teacher Tapp about the school readiness of 4 year olds back in the somewhat simpler days of 2019, so with another COVID-disrupted cohort starting school this month we thought it was a good time to post the questions again.

The figures seem to have deteriorated a little as a result of COVID. This year (of those primary teachers able to give a view),?54% said that over half their 4-year olds in Reception are not ‘school ready’. In 2019, this figure was 48%.

Overall, primary teachers felt that this cohort (who were around two years old when the pandemic started) have been more affected than those in earlier years.?51% of teachers said the proportion of 4 year olds who are ‘school ready’ has fallen?(with just 27% saying this cohort is better prepared).
