Evidence for Learning is our school's chosen platform to capture and record evidence of your child's learning. Class Teachers will review and discuss Evidence for Learning with parents at our Parents Evenings. If you have any questions about Evidence for Learning please do not hesitate to contact your class teacher.

 

What is Evidence for Learning (EfL)?

Evidence for Learning is the online system our school uses to capture and record progress of your child's learning. You will hear school staff refer to this simply as EfL. Parents and carers can access the following information.

  • Evidence of your child’s learning
  • Photos
  • Videos
  • Comments/Feedback
  • Learning Journey’s (Reports)
  • Annual reports

EfL puts parents at the heart of their child’s learning
