Implementing the Briarwood Early Years Curriculum

Empowering Mainstream EYFS & KS1 Leaders and Teachers: Implementing the Briarwood Early Years Curriculum for Pupils with SEND

Join Briarwood for a dynamic and inspiring training day designed to support Early Years and Key Stage 1 leaders and teachers working in mainstream settings with children who have Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). This session is especially valuable for practitioners who feel unsure about how to effectively plan and deliver learning for pupils with SEND within the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS).

The day begins by exploring the critical importance of early intervention, highlighting how timely, targeted support can transform outcomes for our youngest learners. Central to the training is the introduction of the Briarwood Early Years Stages (BEYS) — a bespoke, ambitious, and carefully sequenced curriculum designed specifically for children with SEND.

BEYS bridges the gap between statutory EYFS requirements and the unique developmental needs of SEND learners, offering clarity and confidence to teachers who may be uncertain about what to teach or how to adapt their provision.

Throughout the day, participants will gain:

• A deep understanding of the BEYS curriculum and how it can be implemented in mainstream settings
• Practical strategies to ensure compliance with EYFS standards while meeting the needs of SEND pupils
• Tools to create inclusive, meaningful, and impactful provision for learners with a wide range of needs
• Insights into high-quality, research-informed practice that supports developmental progress and engagement

Each participant will receive a copy of the BEYS curriculum to use in their own school, along with planning templates and examples of successful implementation.

Bonus Support:

An optional 1:1 follow-up session (1 hour) with a Briarwood curriculum lead is available to help tailor BEYS to your specific school context and pupil needs.

Through expert guidance, real-world examples, and collaborative learning, you’ll leave with the confidence and clarity to embed inclusive practices and deliver a curriculum that enables every child to thrive — even if you’re new to working with SEND.
