The consultant’s expertise affirmed our own evaluation of where we needed to develop practice. Her practical ideas and discussion with the team has really helped to provide clarity on where we need to go next. Not only has it been useful to validate much of what we are trying to do in school, it has also been good to have lots of support for our next steps. Really great to talk through the thinking.

A scrutiny of your EYFS provision will support school leaders in planning ahead, to ensure outstanding practices for the benefit of all children.

Our EYFS focus review offers the benefit of the rigour of an external assessment, by recognising school strengths, and making recommendations for improvement so as to secure strong practice. It is also suitable for schools who wish to commission an independent review of their practices to obtain a clearer picture of performance.

To ensure that you receive high quality feedback on your chosen aspect, external review frameworks will be agreed in partnership, and key areas that may need intervention will be assessed, identified and prioritised. Depending on the size of your school, we will agree the format, discuss your required approach and find you the best consultant(s) for your needs.

How it works:

The review will be conducted by our consultants who are highly experienced in the focused subject area under scrutiny. They will contact you to agree focus aspects and the format of the day.

On the day, you will receive verbal feedback of strengths and improvement aspects. Shortly after, you will receive a written report, which will include the identified strengths and areas for you to work on.

Depending on the size of your school and your specific requirements, it is likely to take anything between half a day to two days and can consist of:

  • preparation
  • time spent in school with the EYFS leader and/or teachers
  • report writing

Where appropriate, supporting resources and opportunities to view best practice in other Grow supported schools will be shared with you too. For two or three form entry schools, there will be two days spent in school, making a total of three days.

We can also offer based on an agreed focus, a one-day review where appropriate, to provide you with ongoing verbal feedback and a brief record of visit.

We appreciate that every school has its own unique context, so to explore other options or if you have a particular requirement, please contact us here ›
