Leading practice in PVI settings
The Lead Practitioner Scheme was established to contribute to the continued development of high quality practice within the Early Years Foundation Stage in Lancashire.
A group of managers working in a variety of settings and contexts throughout the county have been selected to offer support to other Early Years Foundation Stage practitioners by acting as exemplars and sharing good practice.
Through this scheme, managers and owners have the opportunity to visit other settings, observe high quality teaching and early years provision and have discussion with lead practitioners, who are working in a similar context.
Please note that visiting these settings or accessing outreach support in your own setting from a lead practitioner may incur a cost. Please discuss this with the lead practitioner when you contact them.
