Our conferences are an opportunity to connect and collaborate with education leaders from across the country. With carefully curated expert speakers who embody the Whole Education philosophy, each event features thought-provoking sessions designed to inspire reflection, challenge perspectives, and ignite innovative thinking. Held in-person at venues nationwide, our conferences offer a vibrant space to explore the latest leadership insights, trends, and cutting-edge approaches in education. It’s a chance to engage with forward-thinking ideas, share best practices, and leave energised to drive meaningful change in your school.

Headspace is our annual in-person event for Headteachers from Whole Education Member Schools. This year’s event took place on 21st November and had the theme of Leadership: Unlocking the potential for growth. We were joined by three inspirational speakers: Vic Goddard, Monica Austin and Dr Ben Knight. The day was designed to bring together headteachers together from across our network to reflect, think deeply and be challenged on how we approach leadership in our institutions.
