Newham's Early Years Conference, 2017

One of the excitements of working with a network of schools and co-leading the East London Partnership Teaching School Alliance is that there are great opportunities to bring people together. I loved seeing well over 200 practitioners from across East London coming together for our annual Early Years Conference.

Seeing such a diverse group of teachers, early years educators, and others who are committed to offering young children the very best experiences in the early years made me feel optimistic for the future.

You can get a bit of a flavour of the conference from all the day's tweets which have been published here as a Storify.
