Thank you Sarah - another excellent document. (and thank you for acknowledging my input)
Please do take a look at Sarah's document - even if you don't want to respond to the consultation as it will help everyone to understand the changes being proposed.
The final revised EYFS will be launched in Spring - and as usual information will find its way to the forum.
Also I have just volunteered to be part of Ofsteds pilot inspections for the revised EYFS - and if they choose to visit me they will carry out a trail inspection under the revised EYFS and use the evidence gathered to help with the fine tuning for inspections once the revised EYFS is implemented in September 2012.
Even I think I am a bit mad volunteering as not due an inspection until Oct 2013 at the earliest - but it is an excellent way of finding out just what the new inspections will look like (don't forget the Ofsted are also doing some selected consulting on changes to inspections once revised EYFS comes in).
I don't think it will count as my 'real' inspection - at least I hope not - and certainly when I took part in the pilot inspections when Ofsted first took over it did not.
If I get choosen I will feedback to the forum - as everyone will benefit and have a head start on what the new inspections and the revised EYFS will be like.
