Outstanding - again!

Posted on August 04, 2015

After being told the recommendation of her tutors Sarah has had to wait a little while to receive the written confirmation that she has been awarded Early Years Teacher Status from the National College of Teaching and Leadership.  The examinations board has confirmed that she achieved an Outstanding level of practice across all the Teachers' Standards.  

Sarah has spent the past year working towards this, completing several written assignments, building an e-portfolio of her practice at Incy Wincys' and attending Bedale Primary School where she was able to work with children in reception, Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2.  Sarah tells us she had a wonderful time in school, being made to feel very welcome by all the staff but that her heart is still firmly here in nursery.  It is during this time that she feels we can make the biggest difference encouraging children to think creatively, to have a go without being afraid to make a mistake and introducing them to experiences they may not otherwise have.  Ultimately all the fun that is had in nursery leads to the children being ready for school as we can see in our Dragonfly children this year.  

With such a committed staff team we will certainly have more Outstanding results to share with you soon.
