Guest Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 My head of centre went on a consultation last week where it was mentioned that the new EYFS ( I presume amended since the consultation) has been published online. However I have searched the obvious places and all I can find is the old consultation document. Anyone know if and where I can find it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Running Bunny Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 I thought that the publication had been delayed until January next year due to the nature of the responses. In the link that Marion kindly provided, it does say "The guidance that follows is taken from the EYFS consultation document and will be updated when the document is finalised." so I wouldn't take this as being the final copy. The framework for literacy and numeracy has been published though (I think?) which is different to the EYFS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Hi Androyd, SureStart state that the EYFS will be revised in the light of responses to this consultation and a final version will be available from the end of this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catma Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Our Primary strategy FS regional Advisor said on friday that it will be out around feb! Lots of slippage then. We saw some of the revised format and it is looking rather different from the paper consultation one in terms of layout and ICT format. Her recommendation is to put the consultation doc in the recycling bin when we get the new one as that is all it will be good for! The revised PNS frameworks do refer to FS and that is probably what is being referenced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Hmm I wonder, the fact that the layout was very different was referred to so maybe it was going to be published and then wasn't or has been delayed withdrawn for some reason... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Running Bunny Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 I think that they were taken by surprise with the amount and tone of the responses regarding both content and layout/accessibility. The timescale for publication didn't account for so many changes to take place, so I guess they have had to do a rethink. At least it shows they are listening...

Guest Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 We had a visit from our Early years advisor and Ofsted last week and they both said it has been delayed till February Milly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Thanks everyone so far - I'll have to recheck what my head was told. It would appear to be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 did the adviser or ofsted give any clues at all about when training would start? training the trainers was supposed to start pretty soon. if they start it late it will give less time to train the workforce we are also hearing that they did not expect the responses that they got or the consistency of the discussions they seem to have listened Veecee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Running Bunny Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Im attending working group meeting this afternoon, so if there are any developments, I'll let you know (don't hold your breath though!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 I heard at a meeting last week that training will be starting to roll out Summer 2007 for the legal introduction in 2008. Not a lot of time to get our heads round it then. Supposed to be quite a lot of changes from consultation documents and will come in ring binder format with CD rom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Running Bunny Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 No real news from my meeting yesterday - February is the general consensus of opinion for publication. It is planned that training materials will be available before hand and possibly given to Local Authorities as a 'final draft' prior to roll out, but no date as yet. One of the members of the group is going to a strategy meeting at the start of November, so there may be more information after then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
