Leadership Conference 2026: From Attending to Thriving
This year’s Schools of Tomorrow and Whole Education Leadership Conference focuses on one of the most pressing challenges facing education: attendance and engagement.
With attendance still below pre pandemic levels, school, trust and local authority leaders are investing significant time and resource with mixed impact. Drawing on the ImpactEd concept of The Engagement Gap, this conference creates space to explore what sits beneath attendance patterns and how we might shape schools as places where everyone wants to be.
Through a carefully curated programme of speakers and conversations, the conference brings together leaders from across the education sector and beyond to think together about collective responses that enable every child to thrive.
