Evidence-Informed Leadership Programme
The Bristol and Beyond SPH is collaborating with the Somerset Research School to repeat a very well-received leadership programme.
Using Evidence to Strengthen Your Early Years Leadership is a three-part training programme for Headteachers, EYFS Leads, Nursery/PreSchool Managers, Room Leaders, and EYFS Teachers.
The programme aims to enable those leading in the early years to become closer to the growing body of educational research evidence and use it to make decisions about the ‘best bets’ for their school or setting.
You need to commit to the following face-to-face sessions, being held at St. Pauls Nursery in Bristol:
24th February, 9:00am – 12:00pm
31st March, 1:00pm – 4:00pm
12th May, 1:00pm – 4:00pm
