Learn - Explore - Debate

NCB recently worked with the Department for Education (DfE) to deliver the latest round of our Learn - Explore - Debate events. Unlike previous events, these were held specifically for school-based early years practitioners in England.

Over 450 school-based early years practitioners, as well as representatives from local authorities, signed up, over three days, to hear from the DfE and Ofsted and to connect with their colleagues from across the country. These events were planned with feedback from the Foundation Years community at the forefront of our thinking, and they focused on the Early Years Education Recovery Programme, assessment under the Early Years Foundation Stage Profile and Ofsted inspections under the revised framework.  

The first session focused on COVID-19 recovery and the EYFS reforms, including presentations from the DfE, a Q&A session and a case study from Whiteknights School in Reading.

Please note, you can find the EYFS profile exemplification videos and information note mentioned by the DfE in their presentations here.
