On entry data collection
We will be collecting on entry data in November for 2 year olds, nursery and reception year children.
Collection of on entry assessment data provides a Bolton level data set that gives a wider snapshot view of the number of children working at age related expectations across the borough.
We will be collecting on entry data in November for 2 year olds, nursery and reception year children.
Schools (who are not taking part in the Early Adopter of the revised EYFS) the guidance is on the schools extranet and the SICT gateway and the date for collection has been extended to 10th November 2020. The guidance can also be found here.
Early Adopter schools will complete their own on entry assessments and we will consider how this information could be presented as a data set once we have more experience of using the new framework.
Daycare providers will be issued an optional task using the Better Start Portal that will open on the 15th October and close on the 26th November. The assessment portal and reports for individuals and groups are available for you to use as required in your setting.
