Children are starting school in Knowsley less ready than previous years because of the pandemic.
This situation is not just specific to Knowsley however but reflects a downward trend across the country since the pandemic.
According to a report produced ahead of a meeting of Knowsley Council ’s children and families board, held remotely yesterday (September 28) there has been a “decline both nationally and in Knowsley of the percentage of pupils achieving a good level of development by the end of reception.”
