EYFS Profile Assessment
Assessment Materials
The EYFS Profile Handbook, EYFS Profile exemplification materials and the Assessment and Reporting Arrangements (A.R.A.) are published annually. It is vital that you refer to the most current versions.
EYFS Profile Handbook
The Handbook has been developed to support practitioners in making accurate judgements about each child’s attainment. It provides advice and guidance on the various elements of EYFS Profile assessment, in particular:
• principles, purposes and processes of the EYFS Profile;
• completing the EYFS Profile
• exemplification of the ELGs
• documenting each child’s attainment
• inclusion
• moderating EYFS Profile judgements and
• quality assuring the assessments.
EYFS Profile: exemplification materials
These exemplification materials are split into each of the 17 early learning goals (ELGs) of the early years foundation stage (EYFS) profile. They include a variety of different types of evidence of children’s learning and show how practitioners can gather information that supports their EYFS profile judgements. The materials also include a number of ‘learning journeys’ that illustrate how a child might progress through an ELG and how their attainment can be recorded.
Early years foundation stage: assessment and reporting arrangements
The guidance explains the process for:
• completing the early years foundation stage (EYFS) profile
• moderating the profile
• reporting and using the results
