catma Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I'm disappointed that they have not yet provided information about the EYFS profile. That is the part that will be the biggest change for Reception teachers I think. It's the STA that will be issuing the exemplification/guidance for EYFSP not the DfE direct (although they are a wing of the DfE1). They are trialling it with some LAs. But don't panic, all you need to do is gather evidence just as you always did and then match it to the 3 bands of attainment at the end of the year.

Guest Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Are they really not going to provide a ring-bound printed version of this? That is so ridiculous, it's the national curriculum for goodness sake. We have been sent 3 glossy ring bound booklets containing Healthly Eating Plans and recipes. Must have cost the government a fortune. I would far rather have had a copy of the EYFS for my staff. Are you reading this Sarah Teather???

bluestar Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 A big thankyou from me too for down loading the links - I hope too that they may change their mind and produce a hard copy version - can you imagine if they told schools they have to download all their curriculum!

Guest Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 As you have all been so fab and uploaded the docs (STILL cant get on the site!!) perhaps you could just print an extra copy off and stick it in the post? Hahaha, only joking, but my printer wishes I wasn't! Think a lot of chocolate is going to be consumed tonight whilst I get my head around it. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamgirl Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 At a quick glance te DMs in 30-50 and 40-60 don't seem very different, do they? I was hoping for a reduction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I'm not sure if this was ever addressed in the consultation period, but what happens to all those children who don't attend a setting when they are two? From my reading of it the practitioner checks are supposed to supplement the HV 2 year old assessment, but if a child doesn't attend anywhere does the HV do a more detailed check then? How will they know the child if, as is the case locally to me, the family doesn't have a named HV after the first birthday, and where are these HVs as in my area they are using level 3 trained childcare staff to do the checks, but not ones who know the children?

vonnie Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I have just finished my first read through and my think no major changes, However the 2 year old assesment (of which we currently do for all our children in our particular format ). The cynical part of me would like to know is this not what Health visitors use to do and i know there is a shortage of them but are they not paid by the goverment for this job so my question is are we to recive a payment for this sevices 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fredbear Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Yes Vonnie but approximately 4000 more Health Visitors were to be recruited, not sure if that is still the case with all the cuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I am working on my new planning format, loving the prime and specific areas. I also had wondered about the 2 year old checks like holly, some children only access our provision when they recieve funding (term after 3rd birthday) who will do their checks? Also thinking about the SEF, I have almost finished it after some considerable years but I bet the devils change the format of it now before I do and I will be back to the drawing board again!!!!!!!!!!!!

purplewednesday1 Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Re: the SEF ... Last time (back in the day) when they changed the format of the SEF they cut and pasted all the bits we had already done into the 'new' relevant boxes and it was pretty easy (for us anyway) to have a quick whizz through and add in any extra bits that we needed to - I just did it as part of the 6 month review. I seem to remember it wasn't a traumatice experience! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
