Daisy Christodoulou joined us to deliver a keynote that explored some of the biggest myths about knowledge and learning.

This strand dived into the theory and practice of teaching that really works, grounded in research and proven classroom strategies. Workshops explored effective, inclusive practices and how to bring them to life in your school and classrooms. 

This strand explored how leaders are developing inclusive classroom practices. Workshops highlighted how leaders are overcoming barriers for pupils with SEND and delivering high quality training for support staff.

These workshops brought effective professional development to life, showcasing the full spectrum of practices that make it work - from group rehearsal and expert modelling to coaching and developing adaptive expertise - and questioning the role AI has to play in PD. 

This strand was all about brilliant school and system leaders driving high-quality PD and outstanding results. Workshops explored effective implementation, scaling PD across schools, cohering curriculum and unlocking the strategies that make leadership truly effective.
