ASCL Sustainability Leadership Day

ASCL HQ, Leicester

The ASCL Sustainability Leadership Day combines insight, collaboration and practical action, and is designed specifically for education leaders who lead on or are interested in sustainability within their setting.
 
Coinciding with World Environment Day, the event brings together sector experts, practitioners and student voices to explore how schools, colleges and trusts can respond effectively to the climate challenge while strengthening equity, leadership and long-term strategy.
 
Across the day, you’ll engage with a rich and carefully structured programme that blends strategic thinking with real-world application.
 
  • Inspiring keynote sessions that set the national and global context.
  • Expert-led discussions on sustainability, leadership and inclusion.
  • Interactive workshops focused on curriculum, operations and estates.
  • Opportunities to network with peers and sustainability specialists.
You’ll leave with the tools and support needed to enable leaders, governors and students create a lasting sustainable culture.

The full programme will be available shortly.
