Guest Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 I need to do an end of Pre-School report for 2 children going up to school in January. Haven't done one before and can't find any olds one to use as guide. The report is for the parents and also the school so unsure how to write it! I was going for a positive, happy, we wil miss you type thing for the parents but now the school wants a copy I dont think this will do... Does anyone else do one? any chance of seeing a copy?? what do you include and how formally is this written? Many thanks (still getting my head round all this! eek!)
Cait Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 Have you any observations or 'development matters' comments which you have annotated that would make a useful starting point?
Guest Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 I've attached an example I completed for a child in July 07. It is therefore in the format for FSC and not EYFS. Basically, under each area of development, make a comment about each aspect within that area. The comments I use are positive, I like to use 'real life' examples of how he has achieved particular aspects. I describe his character, strengths and areas to develop. The final section is about 'missing him' and good wishes for the future. Thee is also a space for parent comment. I made a copy for parent and send the other to school. Not sure if this can be easily adapted for EYFS headings, but hope the content is helpful, as I said sentence on each aspect within each developmental area ensures a holistic coverage of development.

Guest Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 This is what we use. End_of_pre_school_report.doc Choose the statements in each section that are relevent to that child and use them. Of course they are not hard and fast statements and we do change them to personalise them for each child. Hope this helps.
Andreamay Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 you should have a parents permission and signature to send reports to school too.
sandie Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 Peggy I thought you might be interested to see the new style 'record of transfer' which kent are suggesting we use under the EYFS. It is basically just a block graph and the numbers at the side relate to the age bands. This is all the school will get! Thet suggest parents have a 'Unique Child' booklet which is completed 3 or 4 times a year with the Key person. I will try and attach a copy. Sandie new_rot.docx new_record.doc
Mouseketeer Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 we've just recieved a transition record sheet covering the new EYFS, the letter that came with them said that all reception teachers would be expecting to recieve these from sept 09.
Guest Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 Thanks everyone. Some brilliant examples! Have had a very productive night and have written both reports! yeh! xx

Hi there I can send you the format we use and i could send you a finished report, just let me know.

langwithbassettpreschool Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 Yes please xx hope this helps. Hi Langwithbassettpreschool, I am sorry, I have deleted your attachment with the example report. We appreciatte you sharing this knowledge but if you could re-attach the report with childs name deleted, it would be appreciatted. The fact that the full name was visible alongside the name of the setting, this does compromise the childs rights to confidentiality. Please forgive me if the childs name is fictitious.

I fortunately won't have to since closing my group but I still find it interesting to kepp up with all the changes taking place, so thanks again Sandie. Peggy
