Proficiency Assessments for multilingual children

Proficiency Assessments are a powerful tool for understanding where multilingual children are in their educational journey. Having an understanding of a child’s proficiency in English when they start and through their time with you, will be key to implementing tailored support and classroom strategies. It also demonstrates the progress the child is making in key areas such as:

• Speaking
  
• Listening and understanding
  
• Reading
  
• Writing and grammar
  
• Personal independence, social and emotional development (EYFS only)

Our proficiency assessment tools are matched to the proficiency markers set out by the DFE in 2016. This is designed to help teachers identify English language levels across the different key stages, with key skills in mind. Language proficiency should be reviewed at least termly to track the child’s development and set new targets.  

All teachers and practitioners should use the proficiency assessments to track progress and set language learning targets.

This product is fully funded for maintained schools in Devon local authority.
