Early Years Network Facilitated by Michaela Ledsham - Early Years SLE

all sessions will be held at Tuxford Academy 1—3:00pm

Led by an experienced EYFS Practitioner and Early Years SLE, TVTSA are offering 6 networks and 2 Early Excellence courses for colleagues to further develop their existing knowledge and keep abreast of current issues

within the EYFS. Over the 6 networks practitioners will have the opportunity to showcase their learning environments, explore how to promote pupil engagement through natural resources and a forest schools approach to outdoor learning and more.

enhance children’s resiliency levels via an interactive training session delivered by a CAMHS specialist. Our partnership with Early Excellence will further provide two topical courses during the autumn term, the
