Subject leadership – seeing your subject in action in EYFS 2024/25

About this course

‘Inspectors will want to understand how schools design the early years curriculum to give children the foundational knowledge and understanding they will need for key stage 1 and for the rest of their schooling.’ https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/ofsted-eif-inspections-and-the-eyfs/the-eyfs-in-schools

A subject leader may have responsibility for one, two or three subjects across the school, especially in a small school. The subject may be called something else in EYFS and it is important that subject leaders feel confident identifying and discussing a curriculum area in early years. This course will support colleagues to understanding how a subject is taught, assessed and how the provision supports teaching and learning.
