EYP Diary - Getting ready for the new cohorts

It's time to celebrate the achievements of this year's candidates who are about to graduate and also plan positively for the next programme, says Nikki Fairchild, EYP programme co-ordinator at the University of Chichester

 Our first Graduate Practitioner Pathway cohort have completed their pathway, been assessed and are currently in the process of final external moderation. We are looking forward to delivering them news of their outcomes in the coming days.

As a Consortia we have reflected on the candidates on our Graduate Practitioner Pathway. They all brought something important to each pathway and have been able to support each other on their journey. They have been keen to explore theory and practice and have dedicated themselves to the programme.

Although their training has ended they have just started their journeys as EYPs and are now in practice displaying pedagogical leadership and supporting children, staff and parents to achieve better futures. I want to congratulate them and wish them well for the future. As accredited EYPs, there are EYP networks and conferences to help them continue their CPD and I am sure they will take further opportunities as and when they arise.
