'What will come up in their 4+ Assessments?'

This is the number 1 question that Ive heard these last few months.

Parents I speak to really fixate on this question.

It’s the wrong question to fixate on.

You will never really know what will come up in your child’s 4+ Assessment. You can guess based on what has come up historically, sure. But ultimately, you won’t know what will come up.

A school will never repeat exactly what they did previously.

So why do parents really fixate on this question?

They want a sense of security that what they are doing is ‘right’. That the areas of learning that they are spending time on will actually come up.

The best sense of security for you is this..

Cover all 7 areas of the EYFS curriculum consistently and frequently and provide your child with everything that they need in order to go into any 4+ Assessment and truly shine (and score the highest percentages in order to be able to pass!).

An alternative (and better) question to this one would be this…

How can I support my child to the best of my ability to be able to go into their 4+ Assessments and show the assessors exactly what they are looking for?

This question I can spend hours answering for you!

Always remember this. What will come up is not as important as how your child demonstrates the skills that they are asked to demonstrate.
