Support your most vulnerable learners with this FREE proforma designed to help you identify and monitor pupils at risk of low attainment in the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) and Key Stage 1. This clear and structured document allows you to collate key information and consider the characteristics of children who may need additional support to reach a Good Level of Development (GLD) or age-related expectations (ARE) by the end of the school year.

What’s Inside:
★ Clear Table Format: An easy-to-use table with the following columns:

• Name of Pupil (Guidance provided on using initials for moderation)
• Gender (Prompts to consider the vulnerability of some boys and ‘quiet’ girls)
• Term of birth (Highlights the potential impact of being summer-born)
• Previous Setting (Space to note pre-school experience and identify potential partnerships)
• Pupil Premium (Crucial for tracking this vulnerable group, with prompts for 2-year FEL and LAC)
• EAL (Space to record home language)
• SEND (Option to specify the nature of SEND need)
• PPEL (Parents as Partners in Early Learning Taxonomy - with clear codes and explanations)
• Attendance (Percentage of attendance)
• Ethnicity (Space for SIMS codes, e.g., WHB)
• Comments (For any additional relevant observations)
  ★ Guidance for Completing Columns: Detailed explanations for each column, providing context and prompting important considerations for each pupil. This guidance encourages reflection on factors impacting a child’s potential to achieve GLD or ARE.
