Statement Gaps Report
The Statement Gaps report will show all of the EYFS development matters and the levels a child is currently working at. It also serves as a tool to enable you to quickly see if there are any gaps in the child's learning which you may wish to look into.
This report can only be run for one child at a time.
The report will run by default for the current day, showing the child's progress up to this date. You can view a child's progress up to a different date by choosing another date in the 'Select Date' field:
The progress bar for each EYFS area visually represents the proportion of development matters in which the child's level is either secure (green section), developing (orange section), emerging (red section) or not started (grey section). You can expand each EYFS area to view a breakdown of the child's progress. For example:
If you are only interested in seeing the development matters which a child has outstanding, you can hide all secure matters by clicking on the toggle button in the top right-hand corner of the report:
