Early Years Foundation Stage

At Highfield the Early Years Foundation Stage team use assessment for learning. This is the process where staff use their expertise and knowledge of individuals to make informed decisions about a child’s progress and plan the next steps to meet their development and learning needs. In September EYFS staff complete a baseline for all children entering nursery and reception. The results from this will inform the learning opportunities and provision your child will be offered during their time in EYFS.

Important information about your child’s development and learning is shared with parents / carers throughout the year, interim reports and at autumn and spring parents evenings. A final report is produced in the summer term.

Learning journeys for each child are completed using 'Tapestry' an online tracking system which enables staff and parents / carers to upload photographs and make observations about children's learning, development and progress. 

‘Wow’ moment sheets can also be used to record your child’s achievements you witness at home. (These are sent home regularly & available on the school website under EYFS).

 

At the end of Reception children are assessed against the Early Learning Outcomes. Please click here to access this document which outlines typical development at different Ages & Stages from birth to end of Reception year. Children will be assessed to be either emerging, working within expected levels or exceeding these. This is reported to parents at the end of the Reception year.
