These events are an opportunity for leaders at schools, colleges and settings across the country to come together for a day of sharing and development.
Each day will be a great opportunity to share and discuss interpretations and approaches to SEND and inclusion with other school leaders.
We’re thrilled to invite you and your colleagues to attend the following event:
Date: 6th Dec 2024
Time: 9am to 3pm
Location: Swiss Cottage School, 80 Avenue Road, London, NW8 6HX
Full day event. Lunch and refreshments provided.
As leaders of specialist settings we find ourselves in the most challenging of landscapes. A maelstrom of issues including funding, recruitment, capacity and complexity seem to converge around our school communities and make for the most challenging of landscapes to deliver high quality, aspirational provision for the most vulnerable of learners.
The power of community has arguably never been more important and our shared values of collegiality, collaboration and professional generosity provide opportunities to innovate and find shared solutions to common barriers and challenges.
Our umbrella theme for the year tackles the reality of delivering the best education and opportunities for learners against a backdrop of budgets that continue to be stretched and squeezed to breaking point.
Across 3 meetings (1 each term) in 3 regions of the country (9 meetings in total): Keynote inputs, group coaching, illuminations and workshops led by practicing specialist school headteachers will explore innovative whole school approaches and practice in the following areas…

Speakers / Facilitators include:
Diane Rochford OBE, Vijita Patel, James Waller, Alistair Crawford as well as contributions from Headteachers and Regional SEND leaders.
As always the main focus of our events is on connectivity and collaboration as we believe in the collective power of our community and school based leaders and practitioners over soundbites and one off contributions from ‘experts’. Focussed networking opportunities punctuate the day and we encourage colleagues to share and celebrate practice from your setting and make positive connections and seek shared solutions to the challenges we all face.
Midlands: Derby 29th November 2024
Northwest: Greater Manchester 5th December 2024
As with all events we’ve run in the past, the emphasis of each day will be on discussion, learning and networking… giving you lots of opportunity to meet and forge relationships with new partners and collaborators for your professional networks. The format of the whole day is roundtable discussion and networking, both structured through our agenda and freeform during lunch and break times.
** This is a very unique opportunity to come together with leaders from across the region and country for a full day of shared learning and networking. **
Bringing together a large, powerful community of specialist schools & practitioners
