An Unmissable Education Event For School Leaders

Trusted by Independent School Leaders:

  • Such a positive atmosphere and so many new ideas to take back to my school! The day was packed with informative talks from experts speakers and the buzz of innovative exhibitors who took a real interest in my school's needs. I'll be back next year!

    Teacher of Learning Support and English, Ampleforth College




  • It is singularly the best method of hearing the most up to date guidance and advice from key figures in the industry. An excellently curated and led conference.

    Deputy Headteacher

  • A conference where, as a school leader, you find the concerns and thoughts you have been mulling over in isolation are being discussed by peers and solutions are being articulated.

    Director of Safeguarding and Compliance

  • An excellent event, which I’d recommend to any education professional.

    Headteacher

  • This is hands down the best conference I attend every year. Many of the others centre around eminent speakers pontificating but not really giving you any "off the shelf" solutions. This conference shows you an issue and then presents you with the partners that help you to solve it. Brilliant.

    Headteacher

  • Really good show, lots of inspirational ideas, will look forward to networking again.

    Deputy Head, Bestwood Village School

  • Felt that the event began with a strong theme and the talks were connected to that theme. This made the event very cohesive and I learned a lot.

    Programme Manager - International and Independent Schools

  • A great way to meet like-minded people.

    Head of Safeguarding

  • A well organised, interesting and informative conference. Would highly recommend.

    Chair of Governors

  • This was a well-organised conference with a broad spectrum of topical themes and briefings in plenary and break-out sessions that are carefully designed to appeal to independent school leaders and managers. I would recommend attendance at this conference to meet others and to learn useful insights.

    Head of Communications

  • I look forward to this conference every year. Its a great place for school leaders and senior managers to come together to share their thoughts on current trends in education. There are ample networking opportunities and the plenary talks and sessions are thoughtful crafted to make the most of our time away from school.
