New EYFS: is there an 'average' level of attainment?

[Iamnotminterested]

It's now graded as emergent, expected and exceeding for I think 17 areas. Do these grades equate to some kind of point system? Not had a reception child for a while, let alone one under the new system!! Thanks.

When the old profile was introduced the expectation was a score of 104 this was quickly revised to 98 being considered good.

well lets hope for 32s then and see what happens. I just hope my daughter's teacher says something about her being kind or trying hard. work seems (so far) to come quite easily to her so whilst her being good at things is nice the fact she always does as she is told and always tries to please the teacher is more of an achievement I think.

teachers on TES are reporting low levels of GLD

Periwinkle - don't think 32s are available, think you mean 32 overall ?! Have been looking at the TES forum that mrz linked to and am surprised to see that my unpredictable, headstrong but lovely DD, by their reckoning, is a bit clever.

thats an interesting TES link Mrz - poor teachers, as usual getting messed around.

see the silly part is that on the whole a teacher can look at a class and think - yep those ones are where I would expect a reception class to be at the end of the year, those ones are a bit better and those ones aren't quite there yet but when you have to start evaluating it all it probably doesn't match up and it sounds like children who teachers would always have thought were exceeding will now only be expected. not that there is anything wrong with expected but it does skew all the results a bit.
