Tracker will help to monitor the progress from entry baseline up to Y6.

4. The Reception Baseline
Core Components: Mathematics, Communication, Language and Literacy.
Baseline also enables teachers to assess the other prime areas of learning (physical, emotional and social development and physical development) and the characteristics of children’s learning. These foundations of learning are critical to children’s later success.
A scaled score and age-adjusted score are calculated. School can monitor progress.

5. The Reception Baseline
Does not rely on ICT or paper tests. Uses concrete objects or picture for children to point at. We record straight onto a computer.
If a child is unable to complete a task then it can be skipped. It works at the child’s level and is a fun and stress free way of assessing.

6. The Reception Baseline
Communication, Language and Literacy
Communication, Language and Literacy is assessed through tasks using concrete objects and observations made during the first few weeks at school.

7. The Foundation Stage Reception Class is ‘F2’ Plus-Club is ‘F1’
Measured on what a child can do independently.
Still taught but assessed against independent work and how they can use that knowledge in independent play.
Challenges are provided and staff observe and collect evidence for a ‘Learning Journey’.

8. The Foundation Stage
Parental involvement with the ‘Look at Me’ cards that are posted in the little post box in Reception.
Each Friday staff empty the box and add to the Learning Journey.
The children are assessed in Ages and Stages and are working towards the ‘Early Learning Goals’.
