EYFS Profile Assessment workshops – for teachers completing the EYFS Profile

A DfE funded workshop for professional dialogue to support the accurate assessment and submission of the EYFSP.

As part of Best Start for Life, all reception teachers are encouraged by the DfE to attend an EYFS Profile Assessment workshop (formerly known as EYFSP moderation). Led by EYFSP Partners and funded by the DfE, the workshops will build a shared understanding of the ELGs, strengthen clarity and consistency, and confident use of the best-fit model of the statutory EYFSP handbook. Attendance is particularly important for schools with higher levels of disadvantage or gaps in data. In addition, workshops will consider the importance of conversations with Year 1 teachers, so Year 1 colleagues are also warmly invited to attend alongside reception teachers where possible. Teachers should attend one session only. 

These sessions are face to face to provide rich opportunities for sharing best practice.

Teachers need only attend one workshop.

NB - This session will not require teachers to gather any unnecessary or additional evidence as the majority of the session will be based on teachers own knowledge of their children. However, please bring some evidence of children’s learning to promote and support professional discussions, especially in mark making and writing.
