Guest Posted July 8, 2005 Posted July 8, 2005 I've recently been appointed Foundation Stage co-ordinator and have been asked to write a FS policy (incl nursery), OFSTED pending next year. Could anyone guide me on where to look for good examples? I've already spent days searching the internet. Or, has anyone got a good example that they could send me? Also, what kinds of things do I need to include. I've read about outside learning policy. Is this a separate policy or integrated in FS policy, what else do I need???????? Thank goodness I've got the Summer holidays to wirte it. Any help would be brilliant. Emma
surfer Posted July 8, 2005 Posted July 8, 2005 I found this (can't remember where) when I had to write a policy for our unit. It's really good as you can make it suit your setting. I hope it helps, Sue FSFD.doc

Guest Posted July 13, 2005 Posted July 13, 2005 34976[/snapback] Thanks Sue this is really useful. I had a meeting with my LEA advisor today and she agrees with the formate of your policy notes. She also suggested that I should be looking at developing a policy for transisition. This seems to be the hot new topic of the moment. Emma
mundia Posted July 13, 2005 Posted July 13, 2005 we are in the process of developing a 'transition' policy (Fs to KS1 that is) but the curretn buzz words a re apparently 'continuity and progression' (bit of a mouth full there)!

Guest Posted July 16, 2005 Posted July 16, 2005 35110[/snapback] That sounds interesting Mundia, I'd love to see what you come up with. have you seen continuing the learning journey? Lot's of interesting stuff there. It's a pity that they haven'y included any guidline for developing a policy. My LEA advisor told me that training will begin in Spring for transistion so maybe we'll get more info then!!!! emma
mundia Posted July 16, 2005 Posted July 16, 2005 yes Emma it's all quite exciting for us really as it means big changes for the way we work in year 1. Ihave no idea what the policy will look like as yet. I have got the bright pink folder but as yet havent had chance to take much in from it. WE havent had any formal training in 'transition' and we've not been made aware of any as yet by the LEA, but a number of colleagues have attneded Ros bayley's smooth trasnitions course and come back full of ideas.
