Sharing Good Practice in EYFS

We are delighted that our amazing EYFS team were spotlighted at this week’s EYFS Professional Learning Community (PLC), with a focus on our literacy and phonics provision.

It was fantastic to share the wonderful practice taking place in our setting and celebrate the dedication and creativity that goes into supporting our youngest learners.

A huge well done to Mrs Harper, Miss Evans, and the whole EYFS team for their continued hard work, passion, and commitment to providing the very best learning experiences for our children.
