New Course

What’s Love Got To Do With It? Exploring a Loving Pedagogy Hear from guest speaker Tamsin Grimmer during this online webinar that explores the relationships between adults and children.

A loving pedagogy is all about these relationships and the ethos of the setting, and emphasises the importance of love, care and emotional development. It includes holding children in mind, wanting the best for them and deeply considering their needs, interests and capabilities.

Drawing upon neuroscience and attachment theory, Tamsin will explore the many advantages for children, parents and the educators when a setting adopts a loving pedagogy.

Tamsin will share inspiring ways in which we can successfully foster strong, compassionate relationships between educators and children within our everyday practice – resulting in children feeling loved, having a sense of belonging, listened to and feeling empowered - giving them a higher sense of well-being, which will, in turn, enable them to learn more effectively.

Discuss Your CPD Needs Today We hope this brochure has given you an overview of some of the high-quality, face-to-face and online training opportunities led by the Early Excellence Team, which will upskill your team and ensure best practice in the early years and beyond.

But when the need to develop outstanding EYFS and KS1 pedagogy becomes one of your strategic priorities, then let’s connect and explore together how we can work in partnership to make a difference with our more bespoke options.

Our Senior Team are on hand for an initial discussion to explore your additional training needs and share further information about the different ways in which we can support your specific priorities. You might start by commissioning a review of your EYFS or KS1, or by exploring a one-off event in school or Trust wide.

Alternatively, you may wish to explore more intensive, sustainable support to rapidly transform practice in a specific class, phase or school.

Whether you have a question around our CPD programme or are considering a more bespoke approach to training or consultancy, we’d be thrilled to be a part of your journey to excellence, so do reach out – we’d be delighted to connect with you.
