The Early Excellence Guide to Mixed-Aged Classes is an essential guide for any schools with mixed-age classes in the Early Years and KS1 or for schools who may be considering this approach to teaching.
Created to complement the Guides to Continuous Provision 3-5yrs and 5-7yrs, this mixed-age guide supports practitioners to develop practice and provision within mixed-age classes, ensuring it is a positive experience for all children.
The guide is designed to support practitioners that are both experienced at working with mixed-aged groups and those that are new to this structure. It encourages you to spend time reflecting on your provision and practice, consider the benefits mixed-age classes offer, along with offering practical ideas, activities for team development and recommended actions.
The guide also offers practical information to help practitioners plan their environment, how to consider which areas to prioritise and what opportunities each area offers. It also provides examples of Continuous Provision Plans to support practitioners with creating bespoke versions to suit the needs of the school and their children.
To get the most out of your environment, purchase the guide with the Continuous Provision 3-5yrs and 5-7yrs or combine with Outdoor Provision Guide.
