About the event
EYFS Shared Learning Network Workshop: Updates & Planning
Date: Thursday 11th June 2026
Venue: Corr's Corner Hotel
Time: 9.15am - 3.00pm
Our next Early Years and Foundation Stage workshop will focus on following up from our previous sessions and mapping out our focus for the next academic year.
The agenda will cover:
RISE NI & EA Hubs: Updates from recent meetings with RISE NI and the Education Authority Solution-Focused Hubs teams. (We are hoping representatives from the EA Solutions Focussed Hubs team will be able to join us on the day, which will be confirmed later this week. RISE NI chose not to join us this time but are interested in our work).
Inclusion & Diversity: Sharing practical classroom practices and strategies; identified at our previous meeting as a key learning opportunity.
Future Planning: Collaboratively planning our network activities for next year.
Sub Cover Funding:
We have the budget available to provide sub cover costs of up to £150 for up to 18 attendees. If we have fewer people registering, we may be able to slightly increase the sub cover amount paid to each participating school.
Lunch will be provided for you on the day. Please let us know if you have any dietary requirements.
Please check with your school leaders that they are happy to release you before registering.
