More about course leader: Kym Scott
Before becoming an international speaker and consultant, Kym was Early Years Lead in the London Borough of Lewisham. This enabled her to support many schools & settings in a variety of circumstances & to informally research the key elements that make for excellent outcomes for children. Lewisham has been named as one of the top places in the country for children's development due to how well children in the borough consistently achieve at the end of the EYFS. Kym is frequently praised for her clear, realistic & highly practical advice, & for the impact she makes on the practice of those she works with.
This session is aimed at all who work with children aged 3years to the end of YR. It will also be useful to those leading on literacy in schools and those working in Year 1 who wish to improve outcomes for children operating below typical development in this area.
