Enter class names on the ‘register’ sheet and it will populate student names across all other sheets, automatically calculate age in years and months when date of birth is entered (dd/mm/yyyy). As each data for each standard is entered (either beginning, developing or secure) a percentage for each child is calculated for the area of learning (percentage ‘beginning’ percentage ‘developing’, percentage ‘secure’). In addition, an overall percentage is calculated for the class for that area of learning. Finally, on the ‘register’ sheet, a percentage is calculated for each child across the EYFS (percentage ‘beginning’ percentage ‘developing’, percentage ‘secure’) as well as an overall percentage for the class across the EYFS.

This tracker will help you and the students keep track of which provision area challenges or activities they have completed. Space down the left column for you to add students names (10 spaces) and space across the top row for you to add names of provision areas. If you have more than 10 students, please print additional pages. Best printed in A3 and laminated for students to mark off when they have completed the task and then wipe clean ready for the next day/week.
