EYFS Reforms Briefings for Schools

Email dated 22.04.2021

Dear Early Years Leaders in Schools, Lead Teachers and Early Years Consultants

The Statutory Framework for EYFS is changing in September 2021. 

These briefings will look at changes to the statutory EYFS framework as well as considering the two non-statutory documents; Development Matters and Birth to 5 Matters. Briefings will include the key messages from these documents and from Ofsted in relation to assessment, as well as guidance from Bristol Early Years. 

Please join us as we share the key changes and prepare to implement the reforms from September 2021. There is a reflective tool to accompany this briefing (attached )to support further team discussion and planning. 

*Please note that Head Teachers and EYFS leaders are invited to the schools’ briefings. We strongly recommend this joint attendance to ensure a shared vision and understanding of the reforms and the implications for provision and practice. The information for HT’s will be sent via the HT bulletin from Alison Hurley.

 

All briefings will be facilitated via zoom and will be repeated on each day below, so you only need to attend one.
