Early Years report released.

Hello everybody.

In case this passed you by I thought I'd draw your attention to a new report which recommends reducing the level of testing which children currently undergo at the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS).

It came as a surprise to me (but presumably not to some of you) that currently there are 69 benchmarks which children aged between 3 and 5 years-old are measured against. The new report has stipulated this be reduced to 15.
