At Dame Ellen Pinsent School we have developed an Assessment System that caters for our children and their growing needs. The system also allows us to give appropriate information to parents, teachers, senior leaders and governors about the progress the children are making. The Assessment System enables us to identify, recognise and celebrate the progress that our children make.

Early Years Foundation Stage Profile (EYFSP)

Children within our Bunnies classroom use the Early Years Development Matters Framework as their assessment tool. Children are assessed, at 3 data points throughout the academic year. Statutory Data is then submitted to the local authority at the end of the academic year for those pupils completing their Reception year.

 

Children working below the Pre-Key Stage Standards – Early Skills Framework

The Early Skills Frameworks form a set of skills that will enable the children to make individualised progress across the core areas. The Framework is made up of Early Literacy and Early Mathematics. This Framework is used to assess the children's levels of engagement. 

 

Children working within the Pre-Key Stage Standards – DEP Framework

At Dame Ellen Pinsent we have adapted the Access to Education (DEP) Framework for both English and Maths. The Framework consists of 16 bands and is made up of attainment criteria based on the Primary National Curriculum and includes the Pre-Key Stage Standards. Throughout the academic year, teachers use the children's individual Frameworks to Baseline new children and add progress for the pupils that they teach at 3 data points thoughout the academic year.
