Reception Quality Webinar Series  
The DfE have shared a series of RISE webinars on reception quality, led by senior sector experts and national leaders on a range of topics. These free webinars support schools, trusts and local authority leaders to improve reception practice to support every child to have the best start in life and increase the number of children who achieve a good level of development at the end of their first year in school.  
 
You can find further information and the recordings of these webinars on gov.uk at: Reception quality webinar series - Case study - GOV.UK
