Step 5 โ Record an Observation
You can record Observations for individual students or multiple students.
Each observation allows you to:
Add notes or media
Tag relevant outcomes from your EYFS curriculum
๐พ Observations save automatically and can be edited later.
Step 6 โ Use the Observation Map
Each time you tag an objective in an observation, the map updates, showing:
What areas of learning have been observed
How many times you have assigned an individual outcome in an observation
Click on the ladder to take you to the student's observations in that area
Step 7 โ Record an EYFS Assessment
Your school has set Attainment and Progress descriptors that are used in the half termly/full term assessment of each Ladder.
In Assessment, youโll:
Make overall judgements for Attainment and Progress for each student for a selected assessment window
Use your professional judgement, based on evidence from observations and parental input
Step 7 โ Run Assessment Summary Reports
Once youโve entered your first set of judgements:
-
Go to Assessment Summary
-
Use the filters to select class and term
-
Your data will automatically generate visual reports
These can be shared with your SLT or used for planning next steps.
Step 8 โ Communicate with Parents (Ladders at Home)
If enabled by your school, Ladders at Home lets you:
Share tagged observations with parents
Translate communication into +100 languages
Engage in two-way conversations
Send home learning tasks or EYFS reports
