EYFSP Moderation & Good Practice Sessions For Reception Teachers and EYFS Leaders in Schools (face to face)

The Department for Education (DfE) expects all Local Authorities to provide moderation and good practice activity to support Reception teachers’ professional judgement in completing the EYFS Profile.

While schools are no longer given statutory moderation visits annually, the DfE is clear that:

• EYFSP judgements must be based on sound professional judgement
• Teachers should have access to moderation opportunities to support accuracy and consistency
• Local Authorities should offer training, advice and exemplification to strengthen assessment practice across schools

These sessions form part of the Local Authority’s role in supporting EYFSP moderation and are designed to help schools demonstrate that EYFSP judgements are secure, evidence‑informed, and aligned with national standards.

Attendance will support schools to:

• Strengthen confidence in statutory assessment decisions
• Ensure EYFSP judgements are consistent within and across schools
• Be well‑placed to respond to any future moderation activity or external challenge

Who Should Attend

Reception teachers & EYFS leads involved in EYFSP assessment. Whether you're new to moderation or looking to refine your approach, these sessions will build your confidence and ensure accurate, consistent outcomes for children.

Optional: Bring Along What You Know

You're warmly invited to bring assessments for three children — these could be learning journeys, photos, or simply reflections from memory. No pressure to bring formal evidence — just come ready to share what you know about a child in your class.

Let’s work together to raise the bar for EYFS assessment—ensuring every child’s development is recognised, celebrated, and supported.
