Early Language Development Programme
Our Early Language Development Programme (ELDP) has been carefully curated by a team of experts to support your school in delivering quality-first teaching of vocabulary.
There are 5 sessions over the year, in which you will unpick up-to-date research and develop an understanding of the typical development of children of primary school age. We will support you with a model for developing language to support the pupils who need the most support, as well as helping you to challenge pupils further through exploring and applying vocabulary.
Our current 2024-25 cohort is underway. Please register your interest here to be considered for our 2025-26 cohort.
*Please note, only employees of state-funded schools are able to attend training.
