Profile Scores

[Marion]

Some of the statements in the profile relate to NC Levels 1-2 We use the Durham baseline scheme which can be used to directly complete the Foundation Stage Profile. The FSP levels are indicated at the end of the statement and you can see a child achieving 8s or 9s is working at NC levels.

 

Hope this makes sense

Hi

 

Thanks Marion. I also work in Durham and use Flying Start 2 and ideally we are looking to target set/ predict levels from this. How do you do this at your school?

 

We have been looking at it quite closely over the last couple of days and feel that quite a lot of profile B actually realtes to !c, particularly in 1c, is this incorrect?

The Standards Site says quite categorically that FSP scores can not be used to predict KS1 SATs, as they are different types of data (Q9).

We used our data to look at peaks and troughs of progress and attainment at different points of the year. Where are the children on entry and why? (pre school provision etc) Why do we have/not have good progress/attainment in particular scales? How can we alter provision to address these troughs? etc etc Much more worthwhile and useful for the SEF as well. The Standards site has new info about looking at your data. The "Continuing the Learning Journey" materials are useful too.

in solihull we have been told our children should reach profile 6 at the end of reception we have also been given additional criterea for assessing profile points which makes it harder for ch to reach them, it does help with accurate assessment though

[Guest]

i forgot, using the on entry baseline the ch now have predicted levels for key stage 1, after doing a recent writing assessment these levels seem accurate. Oh and i also don,t agree with all this leveling rec ch, but the powers that be want it done!!!!

[Guest]

Would it be possible for you to post the criteria on here ecorri1?

Just a quick comment - in Essex we use Target Tracker for recording assessments. The FS Target Tracker can be transferred electronically to the Primary one and children scoring 9 points are targetted for a level 3 in Y2! You can imagine the dilemma in a school that pushes for more level 3s every year! If we are only getting one or two scoring 9 points then the targets for SATS are very low. What do we do about that? I've tried quoting the Standards site about not using them to predict, but it doesn't wash.
