Early years foundation stage eProfile

Please note: The eProfile will no longer be available from July 2012.

The early years foundation stage eProfile is the electronic version of the early years foundation stage profile, which schools can use to record pupil progress throughout the early years. It is designed to help schools to:

record early years foundation stage profile assessments for your pupils
monitor the progress of your pupils through the early years foundation stage
produce pupil and school level summaries and printouts for teachers, managers and parents
produce end of year reports to parents
return completed results to your LA

The eProfile provides an electronic means of building a record of assessment outcomes throughout the reception year, to support the making of final judgements for EYFS profile.

Version 3.3 (released September 2011) has been developed by Suffolk County Council on behalf of the DCSF and in close consultation with QCDA.

Version 3.3 is compatible with the previous eye-Profile versions (3 or 3.2) and data compiled within version 3 and 3.1 may continue to be viewed and analysed in version 3.2 (although you should ensure you back up any data you have on the eProfile before upgrading, just in case).
