Excellence in Practice Visit - St Thomas' CE Primary School

Join us at St Thomas’ CE Primary Academy to explore how a clear vision and evidence-informed practice have shaped a highly effective Early Years provision and a culture of continuous improvement.

This visit will focus on how the school has codified its curriculum and pedagogical approaches, creating a shared language and consistent practice that supports both staff development and pupil success. Delegates will see how the EYFS, the pedagogical heartbeat of the school, promotes language development, self-regulation and high-quality learning through purposeful interactions, carefully designed provision and strong routines.

Key areas of focus include:

• Early Years provision as the foundation of whole-school practice.

• Codifying curriculum design and pedagogical approaches.

• Developing a shared professional language and consistent teaching practice.

• Creating a language-rich environment through high-quality interactions.

• Using professional development and instructional coaching to build expertise.

This visit offers practical insights into how a strong vision, deliberate curriculum design and clear pedagogical principles can help every child flourish.
