ASCL Conference for New Headteachers 2024

 Holiday Inn London Bloomsbury

"A very well-structured day with so much choice on offer and a variety of delivery modes to keep it engaging. Feel very inspired and reassured." Delegate feedback, 2023

Suitable for colleagues taking on their first headship/head of school position from September 2024 and those who started their first headship in the last 6 to 12 months in either primary or secondary. The conference will also be very helpful for colleagues taking on an Acting/Interim Headteacher role.

This unique conference combines the experience of established headteachers, the latest policy thinking, and practical tips to help you make a successful transition to headship.

Set in the context of the first 100 days of headship and beyond, the conference will help you establish a firm platform for balancing the creation and delivery of your vision for your school with the everyday challenges and demands of headship.

The programme is currently under development, however, it will feature a mix of keynotes and roundtable discussions with serving school leaders on key issues, enabling you to create a toolkit of advice and ongoing support as you start your new role.
