The transition from the Early Years Foundation Stage through to the National Curriculum is key. It is important to view it as a continuous journey, encompassing Nursery, Reception and Year 1. To facilitate a smooth progression, it is essential that the transition includes effective assessment strategies which will be covered in this conference using the ‘notice, diagnose, respond’ principle.

We will explore how to effectively observe children, diagnose their needs based on the curriculum and respond appropriately. Such formative assessments are crucial for identifying children’s learning gaps, misconceptions, and what motivates them. Addressing these early on, helps children to continue their learning journey effectively.

Setting benchmarks through formative and summative assessments helps tailor the curriculum to meet individual learning needs, especially for those who may not have met early learning goals going into Year 1. This approach not only ensures children are on track but also allows for adjustments based on their progression.

This conference will enable you to refresh your understanding of high quality, effective monitoring of progress and allow you to consider the importance of moderation.
