East of England RISE - Reception Year Quality Showcases

The East of England RISE Disadvantage Network is hosting a number of events in autumn 2026 and spring 2027 to showcase effective practice in Reception Year. 

A showcase is a guided observation of a reception year classroom with narration. Showcases focus on up to 3 topics, providing time to explain the pedagogy, see it in action, and reflect. They are aimed at Reception teachers and EYFS leads but may also be of interest to senior leaders. The showcase events are free to attend and will take place across the East of England region.
