Nikki Tilson – Assessment and Transitions Advisor – EYFS and Y1
Headteacher’s briefing – March 2013
www.southwark.gov.uk
Revised EYFS Profile – what’s the same?• Purposes – accurate description of a child’s achievements at the
end of EYFS, to inform parents and yr 1 teachers and aid transition
into KS1
• Principles – observation of child in everyday activities, independent
and consistent, range of contributors, underpinned by responsible
pedagogy, teach and look for application
• EAL - CL and L must be assessed on English
• SEN – p scales not be used as alternative
Greater emphasis on …..
• Yr1 involvement in moderation
• Establishing transition meetings
• Embedding internal moderation meetings
• Quality assurance (sense checks) at all levels

Revised EYFS Profile – what’s changed?
• No more 9 point scales x 13
• 17 ELGs – for 7 areas of learning
(3 prime and 4 specific)
• 3 characteristics of learning
• Best fit assessment - holistic
• Emerging, Expected, Exceeding
• Score of 1, 2 or 3 accordingly
• Not to be confused with “Emerging, Developing, Secure” in phases of
development – tracking/formative assessment
• 80/20% balance replaced by “without need for overt adult support” and
an acknowledgement that embedded learning is most likely to be seen
in child initiated learning

New Good Level of Development measure
• From 2013, children will be defined as
having reached a GLD at the end of the EYFS
if they achieve at least the expected level in:
- ELGs in the prime areas of PSED, PD and CL
(from Tickell's review) and
- ELGs in the specific areas of mathematics
and literacy (DfE priorities).
• “However, all areas of learning within the EYFS are important. To
reflect this, the GLD measure will be supported by a measure of the
average of the cohort's total point score across all the early learning
goals. This will encourage the attainment of all children across all
the early learning goals.”

EYFS Profile moderation• Expected to moderate internally
• Visit letters – end of spring term
• Minimum 25% visit rota, non attendance at
agreement training requests, concerns/anomalies,
plus NQTs supported moderation
• Visit schools must submit interim judgements in May
• Visits – moderate all 17 ELGs
• Moderators select 5 children - sample
• Professional dialogue
• Evidence – illustrate, support, recall
• Agreement training - focus ELGs, 1 child
• Involvement of Year 1 teachers
www.southwark.gov.uk
Expected levels of development• Three year olds/nursery classes• On- entry = 30 - 50 Emerging• Dec = 30 - 50 Developing• April = 30 - 50 Secure• July = 40 - 60+ Emerging
• Four year olds/reception classes• On- entry = 40 - 60+ Emerging• Dec = 40 - 60+ Developing• April = 40 - 60+ Developing• July = 40 - 60+ Secure (ELGs)
• Termly - analyse children just below expected – what is common in terms of cohort and gaps?

Year 1 phonics screening check
• Retest for year 2’s who scored
under 32 points last year
• Most of reception - phase 3+
• Most of year 1 – phase 5+
• Most of year 2 – phase 6
• Targeted analytical approach for
lowest 20% – intervention for
whom and in what?
• Continuous tracking N – yr2+
• Don’t get stuck at phase 3!!!
• Which scheme is most effective?

Evaluating your tracking - SEFMaths
2012 - 2013
On entry
On exit Progress
Below 50% 13.5% •95% made good or better progress
Expected 41% 18% •46% made excellent progress
Above 4.5% 68.5% •41% more children at expected level + on exit
• Majority of children make good or excellent progress in Maths.
End of EYFS stage• The 2012 and 2013 cohorts in reception are showing consistency
in achieving above average standards because of good progress.• There is an improving trend across most areas in the EYFSP.

On entry assessment PILOT• What IS possible in 2
weeks? (prime areas, parents, previous records…?)
• What are the barriers to making an on-entry assessment in two weeks?
• Who are the children who DON’T settle in 2 weeks and why?
• What issues must we consider when we review guidelines for both settling in and on-entry assessment?
