Amendments to the Foundation Phase Profile for Baseline Assessments
The Welsh Government, in response to comments received through a survey of practitioners’ views, has made changes to the wording of four skill ladders within the Compact Profile version of the Foundation Phase in order to make them clearer. We encourage those who are undertaking baseline assessments of children at the start of Reception Year to use the revised versions as these are intended to clarify the distinction between different levels of children development.
