Impact, underpinning foundational knowledge in EYFS, sharing skills with parents

We discussed what comes before we teach our chosen phonics scheme. Also, how we use it and why.

During our previous Ofsted inspection Launchpad was an area that we could talk about and explain how it supported our children with poor visual, auditory and memory skills.

Overall, Launchpad contributed to very strong discussions with inspectors in both settings and was recognised as a valuable, evidence-based tool that supports high expectations, inclusive practice, and targeted progression for all learners.

We could demonstrate the precise impact of our curriculum in early literacy and C&L, as well as how we ensure that all pupils, including those with SEND, are making progress from their individual starting points. The clear structure of the Launchpad Toolkit allowed us to evidence our work effectively.

The LP assessment tool gives clear evidence of children’s starting points and progress across the EYFS.

The LP approach gives very clear evidence of children’s next steps, which is vital for staff planning and for showing Ofsted the progression of learning.

The LP assessment tools and tracking system gave our school very clear evidence for our Ofsted deep dive in reading.

LP has been the perfect curriculum tool to show Ofsted the progression in children’s skills and the clear next steps in our provision.

The LP documentation was perfect to show Ofsted the progression in skills and also how we identify and close gaps in learning.

We are so pleased we got LP before our Ofsted visit, as we were able to talk with confidence about the progression of skills in our EYFS setting.

LP has been invaluable as we’ve been able to show evidence of children’s progress using the assessment grids as evidence. This was particularly helpful for our Ofsted visit.
