Introduction to the EYFS
For practitioners who are new to working in the Early Years

This course is designed to discuss starting point assessments. It is strongly advised that assessments continue to be judged against the Early Years outcomes for nursery and reception class children for September 2019.

This session will support consistency of judgements across schools. The course will include a joint task and each practitioner will have an opportunity to moderate evidence from at least three children across the range of attainment in their class.

This essential workshop is part of a county-wide programme to introduce schools to the Hertfordshire SEND toolkit. This newly developed resource accompanies the Hertfordshire SEND Quality Offer and the SEND Benchmark & Planning Tool. Together this suite of materials provides schools with a vision, a self-evaluation framework and now has a toolkit providing a range of resources, tools and guidance to support the onward journey.
