End of year development sheets/trackers

[shanaz]

Hi everyone,  with children that are leaving to go onto school or another setting, we usually do reports covering all the areas etc.  We also have paper trackers still, do we also send these with the child and if so do we also need to keep a copy to store 

Thank you in advance

Hi Shanaz,

When we were working on paper (we are in Tapestry now) we would only send the child's individual report - no trackers. For us, trackers were about cohorts and groups of children. Any points regarding progress would be addressed in the report 'Billy is making excellent progress' or 'Billy is gradually gaining confidence' for example. The Reception teachers would understand what that means. You would also have conversations with the teachers as part of transition at which time you would raise any concerns that your trackers had highlighted.

Hope that helps

Hi Rebecca,  

Thank you so much for your response.  That does help a lot. Could i just ask with the trackers, before you went onto tapestry, did you keep the tracker sheets and if so for how long? 

Thank you
