Children achieving a Good Level of Development in Early Years

The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework requires a profile assessment to be carried out in the final term of the year in which a child reaches age 5. The main purpose of the profile is to provide a reliable, valid and accurate assessment of individual children. Children are defined as having reached a good level of development if they have achieved at least the expected level in 3 prime areas of learning:-
 - personal, social and emotional development
 - physical development
 - communication and language
and specific areas in:-
- mathematics
 - literacy
