We recognise that each child is individual and, therefore, in EYFS specifically, a baseline assessment is carried out to determine what skills and knowledge each child brings to school upon entry. This allows our teachers to then plan for next steps in learning based on starting points to ensure each child experiences an appropriate curriculum. Each child is then continually assessed and their learning and developmental successes tracked and monitored. The baseline is then formally followed up at the end of the EYFS year to measure how much progress each child has made in their early learning.
