EY – Baseline Assessments
Children in Early Years are assessed using the EYFS profile. This profile summarises the pupil’s attainment in relation to the 17 early learning goals (ELG) descriptors. Early Year’s staff carry out assessments which are primarily based on observing a pupil’s daily activities and events. In the final term of the year a review of all information from all sources is used to make a judgement for each pupil. The judgement is will say whether the pupil’s learning and development is:
- Not yet at the level of development expected at the end of the EYFS (emerging)
- Best described by the level of development expected at the end of the EYFS (expected)
- Beyond the level of development expected at the end of the EYFS (exceeding)

The results of the SATs (tests) are reported using a scaled score, where a score of 100 represents the expected standard, and a scaled score of 110 - 120 means that a child is working at a higher level of attainment. The highest possible score is 120 and the lowest is 80.
