Moving Forward – Year 1 and Beyond Review "In my career I have lost count of the number of school leaders who ask me How can we get it right in Year 1 ? This book provides the solution!

Now top of my list of recommendations." - Clare Bradley, Head of School Effra Early Years Centre, formerly EYFS Teaching Consultant, CLLD and phonics lead, London Borough of Lambeth"This book provides a wealth of useful and practical advice on how to ensure a smooth and effective transition from Reception into Year 1 and beyond. Written by practitioners for practitioners, it identifies how teachers can plan the Year 1 curriculum in a way that builds successfully on childrens experiences in the Early Years Foundation Stage. It is based on first hand evidence of what works best for children across a range of school settings and provides a welcome insight into the current debate on practice in Year1 classrooms. It is unequivocal in encouraging leaders and teachers to resist the pressure to introduce formal education too early and to ensure that the curriculum is planned to meet the developmental needs of the child." - Dr. Pauline Watts, School Improvement Adviser, former primary headteacher"This book supports teachers and senior leaders to understand the pedagogy and beneficial outcomes of reflecting EYFS methods in key stage one, using a progressive play-based approach to learning. Getting transition right is the key to success. Building on what has gone before and providing the right level of challenge through continuous provision in key stage one provides the right curriculum for all children. This book is an excellent guide for key stage one teachers who want to present learning opportunities to children so they can learn in the best way they know. It is a very accessible read with lots of thought-provoking ideas and anecdotes.
