RECORDING CHILDRENS PROGRESSAll children registered at Aveton Gifford Pre-school are given a Progress Record Book when they start attending. The Progress Record is divided into six areas of learning:• Personal and Social and Emotional Development • Language and Literacy and Communication • Problem Solving, Reasoning and Numeracy • Knowledge and Understanding of the World • Physical Development • Creative Development Under each heading is a list of tasks expected to be achieved by the end of the Foundation Stage. For children with Special Educational needs or disabilities these will be adapted as necessary. (The Foundation Stage is from birth until the beginning of year 1 at Primary School, eg September before their 6th birthday). Staff will respect the need for confidentiality regarding children’s special needs within the setting. The SENCO will communicate with the parent regarding their wishes on sharing information about the child’s needs to the group. The Progress Record Book is filled in jointly by the child’s Pre-school key worker and the parent or carer. Notes from Pre-school appearing in red, another colour from home. When issued with the Progress Record Book parents should read about progress made at Pre-school and record any progress or milestones they have seen the child make outside of the Pre-school environment. The parent should ensure that the Progress Record Book is kept safely whilst they have it and is returned to school on the date specified. It is imperative that these books are not lost. To help the key worker monitor the child’s progress, he/she may make written observations which will then be included with the records. These might be in two forms: • Tracking Observation: Showing all the activities he/she has taken part in during the morning, how long spent at each one and whether an adult was there directly supporting that activity. • Target Child Observation: A detailed example of the child’s action and language over a ten minute period. Using the record as a comprehensive guide to the child’s strengths and weaknesses, the key worker is able to assess the next steps identified for each child and suggest appropriate activities to help further development throughout the duration of their time at Pre-school. The records belong to the parent/carer and are respected as confidential by the key worker. The parent/carer may wish to show the records to other interested child workers such as the Health Visitor or Reception Teacher. Parents can ask to see the Progress Record at any time. For children registered at Aveton Gifford Primary School the Reception Teacher will be requesting the records shortly before the end of the child’s last term at Pre-school. The key worker will also complete the Transition Document, recommended for the Kingsbridge Area, which gives an overview in each of the learning areas. There is a section for the parent to complete with the opportunity to express any concerns or just to describe the child’s character or interests. These will be a helpful link between Pre-school and school, providing a picture of the child’s developing capabilities and personality, smoothing the transition between the two provisions.  |
