ASCL Conference on Addressing Disadvantage in Education

America Square Conference Centre, London 

Key outcomes:
  • Explore key trends and research-led thinking to help develop effective strategies in your school, college or trust.
  • Understand more about the lived experience of pupils and how these impact on barriers to literacy and their subsequent access to the wider curriculum.
  • See how practitioners have reduced the gap in their settings with their approaches to effective transition from primary to secondary education.
  • Gain understanding of what to expect in future government policy changes, the national curriculum, assessment, and inspection for disadvantage related inclusion. 
  • Gain a greater understanding of how to lead this area in your school, college or trust and how to prioritise intervention strategies and assess effectiveness. 
This conference will support leaders across all types of education settings and phases to better understand disadvantaged inclusion, helping to develop and strengthen strategies to improve outcomes. 

The conference will also build on the latest research and evidence in this area of leadership and  help delegates understand the political landscape, covering policy changes, the Curriculum and Assessment Review, and the new inspection framework through a disadvantage inclusion lens. 

Our programme of speakers, all of whom are expert practitioners in their field, will ensure delegates leave with clarity and direction.

We are delighted that Marc Rowland, a national expert on disadvantaged provision, is one of our keynote speakers and has helped programme this event to enable leaders to deal with some of the biggest challenges facing this area of school or college leadership.
