Supporting the transition from Reception to Year 1 - Research Seminars
In Autumn 2020, the Greater Manchester (GM) School Readiness programme ran a series of research-focused seminars aimed at supporting primary school head teachers and school leaders. The sessions reflected on the impact of Covid-19 restrictions on shortening the EYFS offer for pupils and the different approaches that can support a positive return to learning in Year 1.
Each of the sessions was recorded and you can find the Speech, Language and Communication one below.
