Early Years Foundation Stage Profile exemplification materials

SELA EYFS children at easel

On the 8th March, the DfE published a suite of case study exemplification videos to support teachers in Reception classes in making Early Years Foundation Stage Profile (EYFSP) assessments.

These can be found on the gov.uk website by following this link Early years foundation stage: exemplification materials - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk).

They show teachers using their professional judgement and knowledge of the child’s overall development to make EYFSP judgements. These conversations help to support a successful transition to key stage 1.

There’s no requirement for  schools to use these materials. All statutory requirements regarding the EYFSP are set out in the EYFSP handbook.

The DfE have also published a vodcast which teachers and leaders may find helpful in explaining the new EYFSP assessment.
