Bolton Start Well

• In March, the DfE published exemplification materials. The videos show how practitioners can draw on their knowledge of each child and their own expert professional judgement to make an accurate summative assessment at the end of the year. The context note explains further.
• A vodcast for schools, multi-academy trusts and LAs was also published, which explains the changes to the EYFSP and what is different this year.
• The DfE recommend that you look at the EYFSP handbook which sets out the statutory requirements for the EYFSP assessment in the 2021/22 academic year.

New last week: Myth-Busting-for-EYFS-Profile-EYFSP-and-reception-year.pdf (foundationyears.org.uk).  This is a series of myths and explanations about the profile and assessment practice in Reception year.
 
Submitting data remains a statutory requirement

• The EYFS profile must be completed for each child and submitted to the LA, no later than 30th June 2022.
• Information about how to submit EYFSP via SIMS / Other routes will be released to schools via ANYCOMMS before the submission date.
