Thrive at Five - a collective impact initiative to improve school readiness

Thrive at Five is a new collective impact initiative, aiming to help children in disadvantaged communities achieve improvements in school readiness. Progress against this outcome is measured by the national Early Years Foundation Stage assessment of a child’s physical, social and emotional, and cognitive, development at the end of the Reception Year. The results of the EYFS assessments are collected, monitored, and verified nationally. Thrive at Five has ambitious plans to work across a range of local authorities from an original pilot in Stoke on Trent. This is a core funding grant to help them learn and scale more widely
