Outcomes and Challenges

The EYFS

• 2013 EYFS Profile results

• LA challenges in EYFS

• CPD and support

• What the future holds

The New EYFSP

1 – Emerging (a broad measure)

2 – Expected

3 – Exceeding (new Year 1 input)

National Good Level Development = those expected+ in PSED, CL&L, Maths and PD

(12 ELGs)

LA summary

• GLD 55.1% (regional ranges from 45% - 57%)

• Average GLD point score is 2.30

• Highest % ELGS – Physical development, communication & language and PSED

• Lowest % ELGs – Writing and Numbers

Key Findings

• Maths is more challenging (included in GLD)!• Writing and number are lowest in many schools (child

scoring 1 in these ELGs would not be included in GLD)• Physical development, PSED and technology continue to

do well• 3 children excluded from data• Vulnerable group data – SEN, FSM, Gender, EAL (LAC)• Boys are doing less well than girls except in technology• National provisional is 52% (2012 - 64%)• Statistical neighbour – GLD 45% (2012 – 67%)
