Already brilliant with children and ready for your next step?
The Foundation Degree is designed for you if you:
- Work with babies, children or young people
- Don’t yet have an undergraduate degree
- Want to grow your confidence, skills, and impact
- Need a programme of study that fits around your work and life
📹 Elleanor completed a similar degree a few years ago: “I’ve gained a lot of self-confidence,” she says. “The fact that it was work-based, shorter hours and local was really helpful for me.”
You don’t need to have studied recently. Like Elleanor, you just need the motivation to learn.

Is your next career move "hiding in plain sight"? 🏫✨
For many school staff, moving into degree-level study feels out of reach due to family or financial commitments. But at the Brigshaw Learning Partnership, we believe talent shouldn’t be held back by a lack of pathways.
Carys Davis, our Director of ITT, shares why we’re launching a new Foundation Degree to support local school staff and early years practitioners.
✅ Stay in your current role while you study.
✅ Build a bridge toward full Teacher Training.
✅ Support our East Leeds community from the inside out.
The best part? It’s open to anyone working with children locally!

Huge thanks to Tom for leading a brilliant session last week on Cognitive Science: Retrieval Practice and Forgetting Curves. 📈
We took a deep dive into why we forget—and how to fight back! The big takeaway? Learning isn't about how much we "put in," but how often we practice bringing information out.
Practical, evidence-based, and ready to use in the classroom. Thanks, Tom! 🙌
