Number of children not eligible for free school meals at expected level across all 17 Early Learning Goals (12386) Metric type
- Help text
- This is the number of pupils not known to be eligible for free school meals (FSM) at expected level across all the Early Learning Goals (ELGs) in the area. The early years foundation stage (EYFS) profile is a teacher assessment of children’s development at the end of the EYFS, specifically the end of the academic year in which a child turns 5. This is typically the summer term of reception year.
The EYFS framework contains 17 ELGs in 7 areas of learning covering children’s physical, intellectual, emotional and social development. Children are assessed against the 17 Early Learning Goals as either being at the ‘emerging’ or the ‘expected’ level at the end of the EYFS.
The EYFSP was introduced in 2012/13. As part of wider reforms to the EYFS, the EYFS profile was revised significantly in September 2021. Changes included revisions to all 17 ELGs across the 7 areas of learning, the removal of ‘exceeding’ assessment band, and the removal of statutory local authority moderation. It is therefore not possible to directly compare 2021/22 assessment outcomes with earlier years. The 2019/20 and 2020/21 collections were cancelled because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Teacher assessments covers all schools and early years providers with children registered for government-funded early years provision at the end of the EYFS. These include all state-funded schools and maintained nursery schools, children in private, voluntary and independent (PVI) providers, including childminders. Excludes a child who has not been assessed due to long periods of absence, for instance a prolonged illness, or arrived too late in the summer term for teacher assessment to be carried out, or for an exemption.
Local authority district data are based on matching the postcode of the school or provider to the National Statistics Postcode Lookup (NSPL).
