skippy Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 Hi Please could you confirm the difference between attainment and progress made when assessing and making judgements. Thanks
AliceinWonderland Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 (edited) Attainment is the stage they have reached, progress is how far they have come from their starting points. For example a child may be in an area at 22-36 months when they start with you, 6 months later they may be at 40-60 months. 40-60 months is their attainment but they have progressed by 2 age bands.

catma Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 Achievement is both together! Being at an age related band may ot equal good progress. Cx
skippy Posted October 28, 2015 Author Posted October 28, 2015 I've confused myself I wanted the difference between attainment and achievement
BroadOaks Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 I've confused myself I wanted the difference between attainment and achievement They both mean the same thing right? i prefer achievement personally; it sounds more positive 1
catma Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 Achievement is the overall judgement Ofsted make about progress and attainment. Progress is the distance travelled from the starting point. Attainment is the point you are at against national norms - in eyfs this is statutorily the ELGs but the age bands are used generally. Achievement is about how well children make progress and atain and is typically used as an overall assessment of the effectiveness of a setting or school. Cx 1
