Inspiring Leadership and Practice in KS1
Early Excellence is delighted to announce our next KS1 Conference exploring leadership and practice.
Learning in the Early Years is active, play-based, and hands-on – centred around the child and their first-hand experiences. In contrast, learning in KS1 can often look and feel very different. These contrasts are evident not only in the learning environments but also in the pedagogy and approaches that teachers use.
However, in recent years, an increasing number of schools have embarked on a journey of transformation – reviewing, reshaping, and reimagining their KS1 provision. They have developed a clear vision for change and brought that to life, creating rich and impactful learning experiences for children. These journeys are powerful, inspiring, and worth celebrating.
This conference will shine a light on those stories – championing innovation and supporting those just beginning their journey of change, as well as providing fresh insights and inspiration for schools already using continuous provision as a pedagogical approach.
