assessment and moderation
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

We are putting on an event at Sans Souci (10am – 4.30pm) on the day the key stage two results are released by DfE; by this date all other end of key stage data should also be available. We invite headteachers to bring their data and use some or all of the day to analyse their results and identify key priorities for the following year.
The data team and the school advisers will be on hand to work with you to help you make sense of your data and start to make comparisons with the provisional national picture. Members of EIMS will also be available to talk you through how you can analysis your data using SIMS. You should go away with a clear analysis of your schools data for 2018. You can attend with another member of your SLT and can work independently or as groups with the support you need on hand in the room. More information will follow.
To help us with numbers, if you intend to come along on the day please could you let us know by email to: inset@solihull.gov.uk
Contacts: Clair McNeill (SEIS) & Kate Sirrett (EIMS)
