Month: January 2024

The UK Health Security Agency has shared a blog that gives information for education settings and parents around measles.

Help to shape DfE SEND guidance by sharing your views in a short survey.

Access the PowerPoint presentation from the recent Ofsted update briefing session.

The DfE announced in 2021 they would be investing £153 million to strengthen teaching in the early years and address the impact of the pandemic on the youngest children. One of the ways the DfE supports early years practitioners is through the Early Year’s Experts and Mentors programme. 

Updates include: ‘Early years inspection handbook’; ‘School inspection handbook’; ‘Early years foundation stage (EYFS) statutory framework’; ‘Ofsted’s handbooks and frameworks updates: January 2024’ and ‘Support strengthened for children with SEND’.

Congratulations to Mary Tavy and Brentor Community Primary School on achieving ‘Outstanding’ in their recent Ofsted inspection.
