We are aware that alot of PACEY members are using the 2020 version of Development Matters. Our Information, Advice and Guidance team has pulled together this document so that the changes that have been made to subequent 2021 version are documented in an easy to follow format. 

The revisions made, reflect feedback received from Early Adopter schools that have adopted the reforms to the EYFS over the 2020/21 academic year. There have been some updates to the Introduction and Characteristics of Effective Teaching and Learning sections to ensure the wording is aligned with the aims of the reforms and reflects the most recent research and evidence. The Development Matters document has also been adapted slightly to make it more accessible, inclusive, and easier to navigate which includes a new design, layout and colour coding.

No major changes have been made to the curriculum guidance under the seven areas of learning and therefore this update should not impact planning based on the early adopter version of Development Matters.
