- Early Years Foundation Stage: Age 5. Children are assessed in seven main areas: Personal, Social and Emotional Development (PSED), Communication, Language and Literacy (CLL), Literacy, Mathematics, Physical Development (PD), Understanding the World (UTW), Expressive Arts and Design (EAD). If children achieve in each of those areas, they achieve a Good Level of Development (GLD)
