What attendees think

A fantastic conference offering an insight into independent schools and their challenges. Great speakers and opportunities to network with colleagues from the whole Independent scene.

A great event with a good spectrum of important topics and sharp and honest speakers, and the exhibition booths are fun to visit!

Excellent conference with plenty of useful themes and workshops, range of exhibitors, nice venue and catering (promotion of healthy eating throughout the day), meeting and networking with others. Extremely well organised. I left the conference very enthusiastic!

An excellent chance to hear a range of speakers, on the current issues in independent education.

Why attend Independent Schools?

The future of UK education is of the utmost importance and this event is the perfect place to hear from industry-leading speakers, debate hot topics and build new relationships with peers that could foster mutually beneficial initiatives.

With leaders from Independent & State Schools, central & local government and charities, you can benefit from high-level discussion, pioneering case studies and policy updates from senior education experts.

With Crisis comes Opportunity: What lessons can be learned from online teaching?

In a matter of weeks COVID-19 changed how students around the world were educated. The closure of schools not only shook reality but reshaped the perception of what 21st century learning could be. This change has been the perfect catalyst for schools to innovate quicker and overhaul entrenched institutional approaches to learning.  

As private schools remain anxious about the future, we ask if this crisis will see educators embrace ‘the learning anywhere, anytime’ concept.

Hear from Ed Dorrell, Rachel Evans and Ian Phillips as we look ahead, out of lockdown.
