Conferences
Further information:
This year's theme, Navigating Change from Me to We, brings together school leaders from across Cornwall's primary, secondary and post-16 sectors to explore one of the most significant challenges facing education today: how we move from individual action to collective responsibility as we navigate change across our education system.
Together, we will explore three interconnected themes:
- Changing Leadership
- Changing Curriculum
- Changing Systems
Framed within the wider national context, including the Department for Education's Mission Coastal work, the conference will connect local practice with system-wide priorities, creating opportunities to reflect, collaborate and shape the future of education across Cornwall.
The day will include:
- A keynote address from Laura McInerney – former teacher, education journalist and co-founder of Teacher Tapp.
-
Interactive panel discussions (Tanya Ovenden-Hope, Daniel Copley, Toby Parkins, Jitinder Takhar, Allister Young).
-
Workshops with professional dialogue with colleagues from across the county.
- Opportunities to explore the shared challenges and opportunities facing education in Cornwall.
We are asking all delegates to come ready to contribute to two key questions:
- How do we move from individual good intentions to aligned practice across Cornwall's education system?
- How must leadership, curriculum and system design change to improve outcomes together rather than in isolation?
