With leading culture at the top of our priority list, we can make big gains through small investments. Join us with Adam Voigt to learn how.
About this Event

We know our work in small schools is complex. But, stripping it all back, Adam Voigt of Real Schools urges us to put one job at the top of our improvement agenda - leading school culture. At this year's conference, you will be inspired to focus on the practical work you were born to do in your school every single day; small investments with big returns, inside and outside the classroom.

For small school leaders and their teaching teams, Adam will delve into what culture is, how it underpins every school objective, promotes strong practice and optimises wellbeing. We'll get practical strategies that will make our school a place where respect, engagement, and learning thrive.

For the leader, Adam's high-energy and provocative presentation will challenge us to re-imagine school leadership as a leader of school culture; and as our 'one job'.

And for teachers, Adam's workshop will show us how a restorative approach fosters real relationships, increases student accountability, and makes learning something kids want to do (not just something they have to do).

The conference will kick off with drinks and a dinner on Sunday night (5pm, for dinner at 7pm); and culminate in a day of collaboration with a focus on leading school culture and student engagement on Monday (8.45am - 3.30pm).
