AI for School Improvement Webinar Series

Artificial intelligence is already changing the way schools work — but many leaders are still asking the same questions:

- What should staff actually be doing with AI?
- Where are the safeguarding and data protection risks?
- How can AI support leadership efficiency without replacing professional judgement?
- How might it support curriculum planning in a meaningful way?

This three-part online series examines how school leaders can engage with AI in a thoughtful, safe, and professional manner.

You are able to book each session individually, or there is a special offer for booking all three.

From Curriculum to Classroom: Securing Strong Teaching for All Pupils

This conference focuses on what strong teaching looks like in practice — how lessons are designed, how pupils experience the curriculum, and how leaders ensure that all pupils, particularly the disadvantaged, can access and succeed in what is taught.

Across the day, leading experts in teaching, learning and school leadership will explore how classroom practice develops over time — and why it often drifts from what was intended. Through a combination of research, real classroom examples and inspection insight, sessions will focus on the decisions that matter most: how teachers design tasks, how they check understanding, how they adapt teaching, and how schools build this expertise across staff.

🎤 Our expert speaker line-up includes:
• Carl Hendrick – international expert in learning science and instructional design
• Prof. Rob Coe – Director of Research at Evidence Based Education and contributor to the Great Teaching Toolkit
• Lekha Sharma – trust leader and author specialising in curriculum, culture and leadership development
• Matt Bromley – education author and former headteacher sharing insights on curriculum and the new

Teaching languages in primary school is important because it supports children’s cognitive development, cultural awareness, communication skills, and long-term language learning success. Early exposure helps pupils build positive attitudes toward languages and lays strong foundations for future study.

Join Tracy Williams from The Languages Hub for a dynamic one-day professional development course designed to support and inspire language leaders. Whether you have been part of our specialist-led network or are new to our curriculum training, this session will deepen your subject knowledge while developing your confidence as a leader of languages.

Throughout the day, you’ll explore practical strategies, fresh resources and engaging activities that bring language learning to life in the classroom. You’ll leave with clear, actionable ideas to support the professional development of colleagues, enhance curriculum delivery and strengthen language provision across your school.
