This Assessment Guide was developed as a result of inconsistent assessment judgements and ineffective assessments. It has been in place 1 year at my current school and has drastically improved the consistency and accuracy of assessment across our EYFS Department. The guide includes: Objectives for each curriculum area of the EYFS Curriculum. Examples of how children may demonstrate objectives. Guidance of what constitutes children emerging, developing or meeting expectation within an age-band. Notes: The guide begins at 16-26 Months to ELG. Some objectives have been added that our department felt should be included in the rounded assessment of a child. These are written in red so you can choose to disregard them if you wish to. This guide is not editable. Once purchased, if you would like an editable version, please let me know.

The aim of the forums are for practitioners to share their knowledge and skills with their colleagues in order to promote good practice that is taking place within the school. • Practitioners select an idea , lesson, system or strategy that works well within their classroom. • They document a summarised version of the key information onto this sheet. • They present their idea, usually in 2 minutes or 5 minutes. • These sheets are passed out as a hand-out to their colleagues so they can review the summarised information, follow up on some ideas themselves and know who to contact to find out further information. This Pack includes: 2 Minute Forum template 5 Minute Forum template Completed example template Information about how the forums work

This is the ultimate guide to EYFS that I wrote to pass to our new staff as they arrived to help us understand our school. It’s very thorough and covers all key areas. Some parts are generic and others are school specific. I have highlighted the key parts to be edited in yellow, however, you would obviously need to read it all to ensure the information is relevant to your school. The guide is completely editable so you can make it relevant to your setting. The guide covers Staffing Duties and Responsibilities Behaviour Morning Activities Snacks Daily routines (morning, lunch, home, etc) Homework Communication with Parents Social Media Child Protection Classroom Set Up Displays Outdoor Environment Curriculum Themes Literacy (Phonics, guided reading, writing, letter formation, T4W) Investigative Maths Learning Through Play Timetables Planning Formats Assessment (observations, Tapestry) Moderation Inclusion Monitoring of Staff Training

Discover the Power of Peer Inspiration with Browsing Fortnight! Transform your school’s teaching culture with Browsing Fortnight—a dynamic, fun, and informal two-week peer observation process designed to elevate teaching and learning. Here’s how it works: Over the course of two weeks, teachers observe three colleagues for 10-minute snapshots, capturing the magic of everyday best practices in action. Observers then share two positive takeaways with their colleagues. They also reflect on how these insights can enhance their own teaching. These reflections are submitted anonymously into a special postbox and at the end of the fortnight, a lucky few will win a prize! This low-stakes, high-impact initiative sparks collaboration, celebrates excellence and encourages growth, all while building a stronger, more connected teaching community.
