Would anyone like to interpret my dd's school report?

[treedelivery]

You would? Really?

Ok, we had a parents eve thing, but I fluffed it. I didn't dare ask, and felt really silly. Like I wanted her hot housing or something.

The general feedback was; no worries, will do well, bright child. I feel a bit lost in those phrases, they could mean anything really. I like details, and am interested in the whole thing in general, not just for dd's sake.

The actual report says she is working above the expected early learning goals, and it is split into the EYFS six areas of learning.

So does that mean she has reached scale 9 in each area?

If it does, or that she shortly wil, what scales/assessment tools will be used in year one?

TIA

oh yes, I did mean 'observed' rather than 'tested'. The feedback from nursery last year made it clearer that it was an 'obeservation' and how the nursery teacher interpreted what the child had done. So presumably some children score lower because the teacher/TA just didn't see them do certain things.

was in a hurry! I totally take your point Rainbowfizz. I also agree that the info I have got from MN has been a huge help in interpreting school reports (and also stuff on reading levels). I'm not obsessed (I hope), just want to understand it all!

But there aren't any levels in the EYFSP - if you achieve 9 points in any area, you are ready to emabark on the NC. There are some points where you could say - that could be a level 1 if you compared it to the NC levels, but that would only be part of a point, not all of it.

You can't transfer the EYFSP scores into NC levels - it just doesn't work.

If anyone who posted is interested [deluded mother ] I got the scales today.

DD got scale 9 in everything but one area, where she got an 8.

So what does mean her score is 116?

think she is brighter than me, maybe she should read the handbook

If she has scored 9s in all areas except 1 (well done treedelivery's daughter) she is working beyond ELGs within NC levels.

Awww. Bless her.

Thanks mrz. To be honest, I'm delighted she go through the year without pooing her pants. However I'd be lying if I didn't say there was a bit of me that is very very proud of her report.

I hope she stays bright, motivated and engaged. I guess that's the challenge, given the demands of the national curriculum and the league tables!

I can't believe points scored is such a big issue! Who cares? If the chld is happy, well rounded and enjoying life, isn't that more important?

Er...have you read the thread sausagemummy?

'Thanks mrz. To be honest, I'm delighted she go through the year without pooing her pants''

and from my op
I like details, and am interested in the whole thing in general, not just for dd's sake.

Some people find this primary school learning stratergy and the politics surrounding it interesting. I don't know where anyone has implied that points are more important than their child's happiness.

Calm down dear, it's just an EYFS profile thread.
