As a senior leader from an academy or multi-academy trust, you already know that some things are quite simply out of your control. Yes, there are structures, rules, and procedures in place, many of which don’t offer much wiggle room.
However, the choices that YOU make, still count. In fact, it’s often those decisions that truly have the biggest impact and give our region’s children the best learning opportunities both inside and outside the classroom.
Some paths are meant to be followed, and some are meant to be challenged. Your choices count, and with the right support behind you, they’ll ensure stronger, better, more effective schools across the North East. And that’s in everyone's best interest.
Whether you’re a Trust CEO, an academy Head Teacher, or a Trust Business Professional, we’ve carefully crafted the sessions at our Academies Conference to speak directly to you. The conference will include a mix of keynote speeches and practical sessions to allow you to stay up to date with how policies, practices, and procedures impact your trusts and academies.
Additionally, you can take advantage of this fantastic opportunity to network with like-minded people and to engage with provider organisations through our exhibition.
