In the wake of PM Kier Starmer setting a target of 75% of early years children being ‘school-ready’ by 2028, much attention is now focused on what this means, and how best practice should be approached.

According to the Government, figures from 2022-2023 revealed one in three children ‘were not ready for school’ at the age of five.

In this webinar, sponsored by YPO, our expert panellists will explore ‘school-readiness’ and offer practical advice and guidance for practitioners and nursery leaders about how settings can close the opportunity gap, prioritising individualised education and care to all children.
The panel will discuss:
• What ‘school readiness’ means and what ‘healthy’ school readiness should look like.
• What the pitfalls to avoid around this issue are.
• The reasons behind why so many children not currently developing the key life skills needed by the age of five.
• How settings can prioritise enabling all individual children to thrive
• The hour-long webinar will take place from 12:15pm to 1:15pm on Wednesday 3rd December.
