Looking to start the new year with high-quality professional development that brings your whole staff team together? 

Join us on Monday 4th January 2027 for The Big INSET 2027: Securing Foundational Learning, our flagship January INSET event for primary and early years educators.  

This year's event focuses on the foundational learning that underpins future success for every child. Through a blend of research, practical classroom strategies and expert guidance, we'll explore how schools can identify the most important knowledge within their curriculum and support pupils to learn, retain, recall and apply it effectively. 

Designed as a shared learning experience, The Big INSET offers a valuable opportunity for whole staff teams to develop a common language and consistent approach across their school. Sessions will span core and foundation subjects, alongside dedicated content for Early Years, inclusion and SEND.  

Many schools choose to use The Big INSET as their official January INSET day, making it a cost-effective way to access expert-led CPD at scale. Whether you're a headteacher, senior leader, teacher, teaching assistant or early years practitioner, you'll leave with practical ideas to strengthen teaching and learning in your setting.
