Supporting collaboration and innovation in independent schools
With a likely change of government on the horizon, the independent sector will face a range of new challenges.
Setting competition aside, there has never been a more crucial time for leaders to come together to share challenges and anxieties, but also to identify opportunities for collaboration and innovation.
Beyond this, we will discuss a range of themes from curriculum development to net zero, without forgetting the role of AI and other technology in strengthening the educational offering, as well as what independent schools can offer to society.
- The impact VAT on fees will have on the sector
- Is your people strategy fit-for-purpose?
- How can we best utilise AI in the classroom and beyond?
- What does it mean to be a leader of an independent school?
ISPN gives senior leaders of independent schools a unique opportunity to be inspired by the most creative leaders and identify the right solutions to drive transformational change across your organisations.
We bring together over 100 senior leaders to collaborate, share real-world experiences, and review cutting-edge solutions.
We give you the space to create real change.
