Questions for EYFS staff
Share these questions with your Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) staff. They're based on:
- Questions EYFS leaders have been asked under the 2019 Education Inspection Framework
- The School Inspection Handbook
- Advice from our associate education experts Alvin Jeffs, Mary Myatt, Gulshan Kayembe, Andrew Lagden and Rebecca Fisk
Questions cover the following areas:
- Curriculum
- Internal assessment/tracking data – inspectors won’t ask to see this, but you can use it as evidence to demonstrate a point. We’ve included some follow-up questions inspectors might ask if you do decide to use it
- Behaviour and attitudes
- Personal development
- Effectiveness of leadership and management in the EYFS (these ones are aimed at the EYFS leader)
- Safeguarding
Prepare your support staff
Inspectors might decide to talk to your EYFS support staff about your school's culture in relation to pupils' behaviour, support for staff and other systems.
