The Early Years Foundation Stage

The Foundation Stage children are assessed using the Development Matters in the Early Years Foundation Stage document.  They are assessed on entry against age related bands and then again at the end of term 2 and term 4.  At the end of the Foundation Stage the children are assessed against the Early Learning Goals which are the end of Foundation Stage statements.  Evidence to inform our assessments are collected throughout the year and are carried out through a combination of observations, group and individual work.

Keeping you informed

Parent meetings are held twice a year. These meetings give you the opportunity to meet with your child’s teacher and discuss your child’s progress. We welcome your interest and hope that you will not feel it necessary to wait until an open evening to see a member of staff if you are at all concerned about your child.

We also provide annually, a written report on each pupil to give parents an overall view of their child’s progress.

At times, special meetings and workshops are held on specific subjects or educational matters.
