Friday’s Masterclass ‘We’re going on a language hunt’ is being led by world-renowned author Michael Rosen, while Professor Tina Bruce is heading Saturday’s ‘Early Years Provision in Schools’. Hour-long seminars cover the whole of the Early Years Foundation Stage, as well as the new inspection framework, with speakers including Dr Kay Mathieson, Julia Manning-Morton, Martin Pace and Kathryn Solly. Many sessions have sold out, but a limited number of tickets are available on the day, so take the opportunity to get some CPD from the very best. See the full programme.
