Conferences

Our conferences bring together education leaders from across the country to think deeply about what it means to lead schools that are better for everyone.

Each event is shaped by the Whole Education philosophy and grounded in real practice. We curate speakers from across the system and around the world who share not just ideas, but lived experience of building schools that develop knowledge, skills and dispositions in meaningful ways. Our conferences are reflective and future focused, offering space to pause, to challenge thinking and to imagine what comes next.

Held in person at venues nationwide, our conferences create the conditions for honest conversation, shared learning and renewed confidence. People leave not only with new insights, but with a strengthened sense of purpose and belief in their ability to make a difference.

A shared values starting point
Everyone arrives with a common commitment to a holistic education, allowing conversations to go deeper more quickly and with greater trust.

Grounded in real schools and real leadership
Speakers and contributors share practical examples of what a holistic education looks like in action, across different contexts and structures.

Space to reflect and to look ahead
Our conferences balance thoughtful reflection on current practice with future focused conversations about what education needs next.

Connection across difference
Leaders from different schools, trusts and local authorities come together around a shared purpose, learning with and from one another.

A sense of hope and collective agency
Conferences are designed to remind educators that they matter, that their work matters and that together they have the power to shape a better future for learners, educators and communities.

Places at our conferences are included within School Membership and Headteacher Membership, with programme participants and Whole Educator Members also receiving discounted places depending on their package. Our conferences are open to everyone, and places can be booked via our website.
