Oak Learning Partnership Conference 2026

Everyone Welcome- Connected Communities: Reaching every learner, supporting every educator.

The conference is taking place in Bolton at The Excellency Centre on Monday, 5th January. This will be a day to remember as we bring together all our Trust Schools and Central team for an enriching experience. The attached document explains the details for the day.

We have three amazing Keynote Speakers lined up: Chris Lubbe, Bennie Kara and Patrick Ottley-O'Connor, a beautiful venue, and a wonderful menu for the day (which will be shared next week). Working in a trust of schools like ours brings many benefits, and coming together to receive such inspiring CPD from an esteemed set of speakers is one of them.

Please ensure that you arrive on time, allowing sufficient time for parking, registering, and getting a drink before the event starts. The finish time will be 3.20pm for all staff, except for Senior Leaders. Due to limited parking spaces (250 for 700 attendees), we encourage car sharing where possible. Additionally, the venue is within walking distance from Bolton Train Station for those who prefer to travel by train.

Thank you for your support and we look forward to an incredible day together.
