What if a child is absent?

A reminder that for the Early Years Foundation Stage Profiles the ‘A’ code can only be used for exemptions.

Circumstances such as children transitioning to/from another setting or country, children who have been absent from a setting for whatever reason, including illness, and children with special educational needs or disabilities (SEND) do not qualify for individual exemptions.

Exemptions for individual children may only be granted to resolve a conflict with parents’ religious or philosophical convictions. Exemptions may not be granted in any other circumstances.

The DfE have said that they recognise that in some cases practitioners may have a more limited knowledge and understanding of what a child knows, understands, and can do and it may be more difficult for an accurate EYFSP assessment to be made. If practitioners have seen no evidence that a child has met an early learning goal, for whatever reason including absence, it is important that they report the child as emerging and then communicate to the year 1 teacher why the assessment has been made. This will ensure that all children are supported as much as possible in their transition to year 1. These decisions have been detailed on this website.
