INDEPENDENT SCHOOLS CONFERENCE
The Independent Schools Conference is the flagship event of the year for the independent schools community, providing practical solutions and strategies to help leaders prepare for inspections, build successful partnerships and transform teaching and learning outcomes for their pupils.
Bringing together independent school leaders under one roof, there is no better opportunity to make connections, meet policymakers and source dedicated content dedicated to the most pressing challenges facing independent schools today.
In 2025, the Independent Schools Conference will once again be co-located with the Schools & Academies Show and EdTech Summit, providing more opportunities to access high-quality CPD content and meet with dedicated independent school suppliers in our largest exhibition yet!

The Flagship Event for Independent Schools
The focus of the conference is to empower independent school leaders with expert guidance, practical updates and tangible solutions to help them navigate their most pressing challenges and effectively prepare for change.
Our carefully curated agenda places a spotlight on how independent schools can better innovate to transform their infrastructure, operations, marketing and culture to thrive in a rapidly evolving landscape. That’s why we’ve invited a stellar line-up of industry-leading speakers to share their invaluable experience, insights and inspiration, to empower you to spark change within your school and transform teaching and learning outcomes for your pupils.
Join us to be a part of this dynamic discussion in shaping the future of tomorrow’s independent schools.
Situated in the Heart of the SAASHOW
The SAASHOW is back at NEC, Birmingham in 2025, uniting school and academy leaders to foster connections, spark innovative ideas, and engage in discussions about the biggest challenges and emerging trends shaping the future of education.
Through co-location, exhibitors and visitors will benefit from being about to meet and network with attendees from both shows, ensuring a chance to liaise with like-minded peers within the school community, as well as meeting senior leadership teams from wider schools and MATS.
Proud to partner with the Independent Schools Council

In a time of uncertainty, we aim to support each other and face the future together, sharing educational opportunities for children across the UK.
“For decades our schools have been known for their community ethos. Events like the Independent Schools Conference give us an opportunity to embody that by sharing ideas and expertise between our leaders to improve all aspects of school life. There is so much we can learn from each other.”
