EYFS: Leadership and Management SeminarsHalf-Termly Local Venues These half-termly seminars will continue to focus on leadership and management issues faced by leaders and managers of the Early Years Foundation Stage. (Previously known as the FS Co-ordinator Seminars). All sessions will be facilitated by a member of the EYFS advisory team and will take place in local venues across the 10 districts of Hertfordshire. Over the 2008/09 academic year, there will be 5 sessions in each of the 10 districts. There will be a one-off charge of £75 to cover all five sessions, the first of which will take place in the second half-term in Autumn 2008. Schools will be charged following signed attendance. Please return the completed form overleaf as an expression of interest to:
Nursery Learning Record: Training, Moderation and Data UpdateOver the next year practitioners will continue to use the Nursery Learning Record (NLR) to assess pupil attainment on entry to Nursery classes. New assessment materials for use with EYFS are being developed and will be made available for use once pilot projects have been completed. Training on how to use these new materials will also be available later in the year. The following letter contains the key points that are important to those settings intending to use the NLR as an assessment tool.

The dates and venues are: Monday 5th October CENTRAL: David Lloyd Centre, Hatfield Places are limited so please continue to book via the online booking system
A leaflet to support settings in recognising and ensuring quality for all This short leaflet contains guidance to support settings who have changed their admission policy by admitting children into reception at a single point of entry. We hope it will be a useful checklist to all schools with the introduction of the Early Years Foundation Stage in September. Earlier admission cannot be considered without careful planning for the needs of these younger children. Research shows that there are significant risks to these children’s future outcomes and well-being if these issues are ignored. The leaflet has been produced by the Hertfordshire Early Years Team in consultation with a group of early years practitioners and Head teachers from a variety of settings. The issues considered are supported as key issues both by current research and by the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) documentation. An example of supporting evidence is given alongside the key issue but there are many more to be found in the document itself.
