Three wise monkeys sitting on a bench ...

Last week OFSTED released the Bold Beginnings report into Reception classes. This report brings into stark contrast the values, beliefs and perspectives of those that seek to evaluate and bring to account provision for young children and of those who understand and support their learning processes.

Are we still bystanders as education becomes simply something to be measured by politicians, despite all that parents and teachers and children know?

Chris Merrick looks at the implications of the report in the light of a recent  presentation and call to action by Professor Peter Moss, of the Institute of Education, London.
