pen green research, development and training base
Corby
Our vision is to inspire, challenge and innovate to improve outcomes for all
children but specifically the most vulnerable children and their families. We
provide training courses, leadership and research opportunities and bespoke
school to school support in all aspects of early years work. The Pen Green
Centre was set up as part of a substantive under-fives initiative and is housed
in a 1930s former comprehensive school. At the Centre we offer high quality
education and care for children and their families. We also offer information
and support services for parents through home visiting, group work, health
interventions, adult education and training as well as the professional
development, training and dissemination of good practice though the Research,
Development and Training Base, and the Teaching School. The principle functions
of the Centre have remained constant over the last 37 years although we have
significantly developed the accommodation. We have maintained our principles of
operation; withstood radical changes in local and national government; responded
creatively to new legislation and to major demographic changes, and influenced
national government policy in early years.
