Termly progression milestones outline the expected learning outcomes for each area of development across Autumn, Spring, and Summer terms. These milestones provide clear guidance on what children should typically achieve at each stage, ensuring steady progress toward end-of-year Early Learning Goals (ELGs). For example, in Literacy, children may begin by recognising their name and hearing initial sounds in Autumn, progress to blending simple words and forming letters in Spring, and finish the year writing short sentences with punctuation in Summer. Teachers use these termly expectations as assessment checkpoints, reviewing progress at the end of each term to identify strengths, address gaps, and plan next steps for individual learners.
