EYFS Profile Meetings to Support Reception Teachers
Moderation activity is led by Bolton schools through the Early Education Improvement Group, with teachers in each cluster taking a lead to organise a meeting for Reception Teachers.
No written assessment information needs to be brought to any meeting.
The meetings are informal discussions with peers to support the completion of the EYFSP.
If you cannot attend your cluster date but would still like to take part, you are welcome to attend another meeting. Please refer to the list below and email the school office to let them know you would like to attend.
