As we start the new year afresh having spent quality time with our families, we are very aware that there are many in need around the world. With the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Yemen devastating families, we have responded to the DEC's appeal for donations to provide food, water and supplies. The £500 Best Practice Network generated was matched and gift-aided through the Big Give's Christmas Challenge to make a total of £1,125. While the Christmas Challenge is over, you can still donate directly to the Disasters Emergency Committee’s Yemen Crisis Appeal.
National Early Years Teacher Day is back on Wednesday, April 17th and it's a fantastic opportunity to shower our incredible Early Years Teachers with appreciation for the magic they bring to young lives.
We recognise the vital role Mentors play in the success of the Early Career Framework. To celebrate their dedication and contributions to the programme, we have launched 'Mentor of the Month'. This months winner is Mark Richards from the Marches School.
