Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) Review
The review places a strong emphasis on raising leaders' awareness of what best practice looks like. It draws on extensive inspection experience and early years expertise. It involves:
- scrutinising the data on entry to and exit from the EYFS, including that provided by the local authority;
- a close look at the school's systems for observing, assessing, recording and tracking children's progress, and for celebrating their achievement in individual profiles or learning journals;
- direct observation of a number of sessions (jointly with a senior or middle leader if desired);
- discussion about and scrutiny of the school's systems for involving parents as partners in their children's education and assessment, and of other partnerships;
- exploration of the scope of the curriculum and its planning, including through the use of visits and visitors;
- focusing on aspects of EYFS leadership and development planning to see how well the school is driving improvement and identifying the right priorities for improvement.
