Early Development of Reading and Phonlcs:
This year was an undoubted succes5 in the development of reading within the Centre. Our aim was to ty and find ways of helping lutors to
become more confident and skilled at inspiring thildren to decode and segment words to read better. One way of doing this was lo train and
provide tutors with different strategies, approaches and methods to developing phonics, such as modelling, using action, making the corTect
sounds and we updated reSoUr￿S buying into an updated synthetic phonic5 prcgiamme. The new Jolly phonics scheme supp¢Jrted our tutorfs
confidence in teaching and delivering phonics sessions and fflade them more refleciive about their practice. The tutors have used visual and
inleraclive resources lo tsp into the ¢hildien's' love of reading.
Development of Writing:
We select appropriate writing malgrials that help lulors plan and slimulale leaming. such as'wribng guides,. This helped tutors structure their
lessC￿S and develop their understsling of each writing genre, whith they were then able lo reflect bac* to the children. We feel that writsng
should have a genuine purpose that responds lo real life issues and situats'ons to help pupils feel more engaged.
S¢ien¢e
Hands-on resources were used in different science units where practical aclivities and detailed exploration of topics were required. Tutors
weie sUC￿ful in catering for leamers who engage well with visuals and hands-on leaming. Children have conducte(l exating experiments

lo develop their skills in enquiry, decision-making, prOblem￿SO1¥1ng and self- evaluation. Staff delivered inleractive CPD sessions and shared
their great Practi￿ with the team.
Computing
This area has always been a focus for Headstart, we tr8in oui staff lo ensure they are competent in the compub'ng curriculum. Tutors refer lo
ready-made plans from Scholastic guides.
This year we struggled to conduct computing lessons due to a lac& of wclking laptops and t￿hnical issues. Tutors had lo use computing
lessons as support sessions.
Continued Professlonal Development
Our tut¢ys are continually devgloping their skills needed io carry out mganingful leaming for our children during this year. To that end, we have
been engaging in weekly in house CPD sessions. Stsff have been undergoing training sessions eantered on the foll￿1ng this year.

support and individual self-rellection. Our stsff seem to have responded PoS￿.Ye1y to these measures and seem intent on improMng their own
practi¢9 and providing a better stsndard of education to home educated children and supporttng parents.
Early Years Department
This year has been a Challenging year for Early Years, especially with the change in management mid-year. Despite thts il was a greatsucws.
We had an of$t￿ inspedion this year, and alhamdulillah, we received a 'Good' rating in all areas.
In terms of our enrolmenl. we had one baby this year. Our tsvo-year-olds setued in exceptionally well wrth the oldw thildren, contn'bub'ng lo an
overall positive atmosphere. We remain (x)mmitted to maintaining strong parental involvemenL as in previous years, and have successfvlly
managed to do so.
We utilised the Unit 7 giving thildren ample room for physical actiwtie5.
We collaborated c105ely wtth the Primary Years team to fa￿litate a smooth transition for children whose parents those lo home-educate within
Headstart next year. Addib'onally, we work with local sch¢J)Is lo support parents who decide lo send their child to school, beliemng this will
srgnificanuy benefit the thildren's develq)menL Most children in ¢JJr Reception gioup mel their largets by the end of the year.
Our assessments identified any gaps early, enabling us to reccgnise each child's abilities and help them reath their fijll polenlial, especially
in reading and phonics. We revised our phonics and reading assessments lor the reception class to better support this g081.
We stsrted the year with a good number of children and aim to welcome even more into our setb'ng. We offer 30 free hours, providing parents
with flexible option5 and the thoice of an optional lunch.
Our Early Years and Re￿ptiOn teams worked dosely with the LA SENCO, allowing us to refer children lo early help and identify needs sooner.
While we were unable lo conb'nue with our termly trips this year, we plan to tske nursery children on more trips next academic year, with
parental support, lo indude our younge51 children. Our reception staff will continue lo lake children out using public transp¢)rL Children a
regularfy taken lo the local park for play.
(herall, it has b98n a pr¢)Juctive year, and we look foTh¥ard to building on these succ8sses in the coming academic year.

Other Organisations
Our centre rs based in an accessible high-profile part of the community. We let out our venue at a low Pri￿ to othw community benefiting
projects. Presenly we have a madrasah, Arabic dasses, a tU1b'(￿ group, holiday dub and a marbal arts organisation that run separately from
us by hiring our venue. This helps proiride rev8nu8 to our organization in keeping the exp8n$8s manageable and provides accessible facilities
to families and thildren in the o)mmunity. These (xganizab'ons are independent and NOT govemed or affiliated to Headstart
Training
Primary Years Home Education DepartmenL'
At the beginning of each academic year, the inducbon and introductory training are ddivered lo staff. This is to ensure that staffs (teaching
