[Guest]

Please can someone help me. I'm stuck. As far as assessment goes for the children, i have been using Development matters, EPROFILE

.WHATdo other teachers keep in their assessment folders? APP?

Thanks

APP is for KS1 on. What is expected of the rest of the school and is that appropriate for you?

If you are teaching reception the EYFSP is the only assessment you need

 

Margaret Hodge, then Minister of State with responsibility for the foundation

stage, wrote to CEOs in March 2005 saying that she was:

concerned that some LEAs may be placing unnecessary burdens on reception teachers by

asking for other assessments to be made in addition to these (statutory FSP) requirements.

Anecdotal evidence suggests that in some areas reception teachers are being asked to

complete, for example, baseline assessments or assessment against the Key Stage 1

curriculum as well as the Foundation Stage Profile. I would be grateful for your co-operation

in ensuring that reception teachers are not asked to undertake additional non-statutory

requirements.
