Can some helpful person please point me in the direction of the DfE/OFSTED guidance that says (or not) that Reception children have to spend 85% of their time on self directed activities?
From memory, I don't think that this is factually correct and I am writing to my child's school to explain my concerns about their new system and its impact on my child. They are claiming that they have no option but too run things this way (free flow of 90 children for 85% of the time). I want some factual backup that says they do have a choice.
I thought it was 85% of assessments to be made on child directed activities not 85% of time. So children could spend (for example) 50% of time on child-directed play and teachers use this time to do 85% of their assessments.
I'm so upset in the emotional deterioration and behaviour of my son since he started school but I want to try and be factual in my letter not emotional.
