With an overhaul to school inspections due in September 2019, this one day conference is perfectly timed to help prepare for the new framework.

Delegates will leave with a greater understanding of the proposed new inspection judgements, alongside learning what it takes to make a school ‘outstanding’. Plus there will be plenty of opportunity to discuss challenges and share experiences with other school leaders.

The learning objectives include:
• Ofsted inspections – the essentials for 2019 – gain an insight into the new Common Inspection Framework and how to get prepared for changes on the horizon
• Moving your school from good to outstanding – learn what features in an ‘outstanding’ curriculum and how middle leaders can drive the improvement you want to see
• Leadership and supporting staff mental health – understand how to best lead and support your staff’s mental wellbeing and what practical strategies can be introduced to support an improved work/life balance
• Managing budgets and financial planning – get to grips with the updated National Funding Formula and learn how your school can grow and improve even on a limited budget
• Recruiting and retaining key staff – learn how to build a successful recruitment process, retain your key staff and create a team culture that can effectively respond to staff changes.
