EYFS Hub
Trust Subject Lead: Katy Parker
Katie has been teaching since 2005 and has worked in three very different schools. She is a much valued Assistant Head at Bexton
Primary School where she leads an Outstanding Early Years with Nursery provision from two years old. Katie has worked with a number of schools to support them in developing their Early Years. She has expertise in delivering phonics and supporting staff with the implementation of new curriculum expectation and varying programs across the Early Years and Key Stage 1.
Katie co-facilitates the NPQEYL Programme on behalf of the Cheshire Teaching School Hub and Best Practice.
Purpose
The purpose of the EYFS CAT is for staff to work collaboratively to create impactful strategies to enhance the early year’s education of our children. We have regular meetings and training to share best practice and discuss evidence-based research for improving teaching and learning in the early years. Through a collective effort and a commitment to continuous improvement, schools within the trust create a supportive network that fosters collaboration, enriches pedagogy, and ultimately enhances the early year’s educational experience for all students. Staff visit each other’s settings, moderate assessments and observations and share new initiatives that they have successfully put into place. This term, the schools within the trust, will begin Reggio Emilia Approach training delivered with Andrea Curran.

Agenda
EYFS Data
As some schools are now using FFT we need a new system for inputting the data and tracking across the year. We will discuss what schools are currently using and what information they need to show at progress meetings. HN is creating a spreadsheet for schools that are using FFT.
