This week, we hosted our summer Principals’ Conference in Leeds, bringing together school leaders from 59 of our schools across the country to connect, collaborate, and learn from one another.
With the new school year fast approaching, the collective focus was clear: making sure every school is ready to give every child an excellent education, every day.
This year’s conference approach was designed to harness the great expertise among our principals in tackling the biggest challenges facing the education sector.
Principals brought their best to the day, actively co-designing solutions for the future of our schools and the trust, around achievement (Lift490), belonging, and our KS3 curriculum.
