Guest Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 I was wondering if someone can clear up some confusion for me. I have just started a new school and have been told they are using the FSPs to plan from. I am horrified especially as an advisor has told them this is what should be done. Is there anywhere that actually says to do this or not that I can show the FS Leader. I though we should be planning with Development Matters in mind. I am worried a s we may have the dreaded 'O' visit soon and I am sure they will not think much of this. Have I missed something somewhere? How is everyone else planning their objectives?

kittycat1279 Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Most things I've read implies it rather than being really specific but this might help http://nationalstrategies.standards.dcsf.gov.uk/node/84344 Good luck! Someone else may have something better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was taught to use EYFS guidance too - not/never the profile; but as soon as I started in a school as an NQT, this was all ever looked at - all OFSTED seemed to care about too!! sad but true x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 thank you I had forgotten about that in the document. I think though, that the reception teachers are using the end of year assessment statements from the profile as objectives for planning. I would find this very restricting and narrow the curriculum provision. I am very confused as I have always used development matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can I would keep using development matters as you quite rightly said just using the profile points would restrict the curriculum as there is more to the EYFS than those in the profile. It is unfortunate that the message hasn't got to everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
