Can any kind person direct me to any official website where this has been outlined. I need to show a 'from the horses mouth' version of this to my head, as there is pressure from K.S.1 staff to mark down my children and to have some children as below average on entry. There is no way they are below average on entry to F.S. The inspector has suggested there must be an issue in K.S .1 using my profile data to predict SAT results and saying the SAT results should be better. I have been moderated and in fact urged to mark 1 child up! though I stood my ground.
Thanks

This from NAA FSP report 2006:
"Some LAs and commercial companies have produced materials that attempt
to equate FSP scale points to national curriculum (NC) sub-levels and use
FSP data as a crude numerical predictor for attainment in NC key stage 1
assessments. Any equation of FSP scales or scale point scores to NC levels
or invented sub-levels is a spurious and ultimately inaccurate exercise. There
is currently no reliable numerical correlation between attainment in FSP and
NC key stage 1 assessments. Use of data generated by the FSP relies on
fully understanding the relationship between all 13 scales and how this is
used to support the next steps in children’s learning within a broad and
balanced curriculum. NAA strongly discourages the use of such materials and
continues to promote the use of Continuing the learning journey to support
effective understanding and use of FSP data."

Until Ofsted appreciate this, we are always going to be fighting this battle.

Play, while it cannot change the external realities of children’s lives, can be a vehicle for children to explore and enjoy their differences and similarities and to create, even for a brief time, a more just world where everyone is an equal and valued participant.

Thank you Catma and Marion, just what I want and I am printing the whole report off now and will give it to my head with the pertinent comments highlighted. I have had to give predictions of scores for end of profile, and I actually said pick a number, any number will do!!!! She said all the other staff had to set targets-make predictions and so should I
