Early Years Foundation Stage Tracking

Infant & Primary Tracking

Infant & Primary schools get full support for tracking Early Years and Development Matters at Foundation Stage included in PupilAsset Tracker by default.

Nurseries

Nurseries can also use the system, with the age bands running from N0 through to Reception – giving you 3 Nursery years. Understandably many Nurseries do not wish to track this early, so you can just use it as a data store for really young children if preferred.

Development Matters Framework

Formative assessment through Nursery and Reception can be accomplished using the Development Matters framework, or a framework of your choice.

Free Early Years App

Pupil achievements can be ticked off as they grow using either a PC/Mac or an iPhone/iPad/Android device with our free teacher app. The benefit of using a handheld system is that it’s much easier to snap a picture to evidence the achievement, since those pictures go directly from your device to PupilAsset with no hassle around downloading/uploading files.

Summative Foundation-Stage Assessment

In Pupil Asset, you can track achievements purely formatively, or use a summative grading system of your choice – e.g. Point-in-Time-Assessment (PITA) or Early Years Age Bands. For example:

Year	Short-hand	Age-bands	Fine Bands
Nursery Entry	N0	Birth-11mths	Birth-11 Beginning Birth-11 Developing Birth-11 Embedded
8-20mths	8-20 Beginning 8-20 Developing 8-20 Embedded
16-26mths	16-26 Beginning 16-26 Developing 16-26 Embedded
22-36mths	22-36 Beginning 22-36 Developing 22-36 Embedded
Pre-Nursery	N1	30-50mths	30-50 Beginning 30-50 Developing 30-50 Embedded
Nursery	N2	40-60mths	40-60 Beginning 40-60 Developing 40-60 Embedded
Reception	R	Early Learning Goals (ELG)	1. ELG Beginning 2. ELG Developing 3. ELG Embedded

This bands can be renamed, or indeed you can set up your own assessments.

Joining Up With KeyStage 1

PupilAsset data continues from Reception directly into KeyStage 1 (and beyond), retaining all of their Nursery and Reception results, allowing your whole school to use the same system in a joined up way.
