assessment and moderation
Please see attached letter and supporting paperwork below for summer term dates.
The Department for Education (DfE) is planning to make changes to the Early Learning Goals (ELGs) / Early Years Foundation Stage Profile (EYFSP), and is piloting the reforms in 25 schools, selected to be a representative mix of all schools, prior to a full national public consultation. The autumn term Leaders and Managers Early Years Network meetings on Friday 9th November am/pm will give EY leads the opportunity to discuss the draft changes. The draft Early Learning Goals should not limit the wide variety of rich experiences that are crucial to child development. They are for end of year summative best–fit assessment judgements. The revised ELGs will come into effect in 2020 – 2021.
Updated Early Education and Childcare: LA Statutory Guidance and the Operational Guidance. The DfE has updated both documents which will take effect from 1st September 2018 – link below
Please also see links below for further guidance.
The Standards and Testing Agency (STA) has published the new pre-key stage standards at key stage one and key stage two for use from the 2018/19 academic year. Pre-key stage standards are for pupils who are working below the overall standard of national curriculum assessments, but who are engaged in subject-specific study.
In summer 2019, teachers must use these pre-key stage standards to make statutory teacher assessment judgements at the end of key stage one or key stage two for pupils who are working below the national curriculum teacher assessment frameworks, and above P scale four.
If a pupil is working below these standards, teachers should report their outcomes using P scales one to four.
These changes follow last year’s consultation on the recommendations made by the Rochford Review, which called for these standards to be introduced, replacing the ‘P scales’.
