Bristol Bespoke Support

We offer a range of popular bespoke support packages to schools and settings, all facilitated from a collaborative, strengths-based and empowerment model to learning. These include the following.

Local Specialist Leaders (LSL) Support

LSLs are designated EYs leaders and practitioners with great expertise in specific areas, who are able to come and work with you and your team in your setting/school, over a period of time, with the focus of supporting you on an identified area of quality improvement. This is available to all schools and settings.

Read more about what LSL support (link to page) involves, areas of specialism, the process for accessing support, as well as feedback from those who have benefited from LSLs.

Inset/Whole Staff Training

LSLs or leaders within our EYs Hub are available to design and deliver bespoke staff training INSET packages to meet the needs of your team and school/setting.

For example, recently we have designed and delivered whole staff training around bilingualism and supporting EAL learners.

Leadership and Mediation

Experienced leaders who are qualified in mediation in the workplace, mindfulness and coaching are available to come alongside your team to shift practice, perceptions, conflicts, stress etc. to help improve outcomes for all.

Study Days and Study Tours

St Pauls Nursery School and Redcliffe Nursery School offer immersion days for staff teams to engage in learning walks, and enter into facilitated learning conversations around a focus of your choice.

We also welcome groups of learners from far and wide who want to explore our pedagogy in depth. Study tours are coordinated by a local leader, who will also act as guide to the city of Bristol and arrange other setting/school visits.
