EYFS Assessment

Below you will find further information on how we assess children in the Early Years. 

The EYFS profile is a statutory assessment of children’s development at the end of the early years foundation stage (known as a summative assessment) and is made up of an assessment of the child’s outcomes in relation to the 17 early learning goals (ELGs). This is completed near the end of the academic year. It is intended to provide a reliable, valid, and accurate assessment of each child’s development at the end of the EYFS. Practitioners are expected to use their professional judgement to make these assessments, based on their knowledge and understanding of what the child knows, understands, and can do. They also take into account knowledge parents share, observations throughout the year and any evidence in their special books. 

More information of the Early Years Profile can be found on the Government website.
