ASCL Data Leader and Accountability Conference

Bridgewater Hall, Manchester

Understanding data to drive improvement 

The ASCL Data and Accountability Conferences will support school, college and trust leaders make sense of this summer’s results, with national comparisons and important policy updates including the latest information on inspection reform and the new report card.

Keynote speakers will take a forensic look at examples of how data has been used to prioritise strategy decisions and drive improvements. Our programme also features sessions led by practising data leaders whose focus on a particular area has informed improvement in their setting.

The conferences will also cover what to look out for in the accountability calendar, and how data leaders might want to prepare in advance. 

Key outcomes
  • Understand key trends from the summer 2025 examinations.
  • Know the latest updates on inspection and the new report card.
  • See how practitioners in schools have used data to prioritise school improvement.
  • Know what to expect from the accountability calendar, and how to prepare. 

There will be opportunities for question and answer sessions with speakers and also with selected exhibitors.

Details of the programme and speakers will be provided shortly.
