Eligibility: This course is open to school leaders from any South Gloucestershire school, as well as LA Officers.
Every child deserves to feel that they belong, are valued and can succeed. As school leaders, we have a collective responsibility to create cultures where inclusion is not an initiative but a fundamental principle that shapes every decision we make.
This conference provides an opportunity to learn from one another, celebrate effective practice and reflect on how high-quality leadership can remove barriers, raise aspirations and improve outcomes for all children and young people. Through sharing experiences, challenges and successes, we will strengthen our collective commitment to ensuring that every school, every child, every day benefits from inclusive and ambitious educational provision.
Susie Weaver - Susie will start the day exploring the importance of Inclusion and the opportunities we have as leaders to shape the system. There will be time in this first session of the day to consider the regional landscape and to consider and understand the importance of place-based leadership as we move into the next phase of reform and transformation. We will consider reasons for hope and optimism and to think together about how we lead with courage and commitment on behalf of the children and families we serve.
Gary Aubin - This session will explore how schools might build and sustain inclusive cultures, in the context of a changing cohort of pupils with SEND. It will explore research and practice in curriculum and pedagogy, considering the role of leaders throughout in maintaining a whole-staff buy-in to inclusive practice.
The afternoon programme will feature presentations from colleagues across South Gloucestershire and neighbouring authorities, highlighting effective practice in inclusion. Interactive discussion and question-and-answer sessions will be woven throughout to encourage collaboration and the sharing of ideas.
Full Guest Speaker details along with the agenda for the day will be found on the flyer that will be ciruclated shortly and added to the Pre-coursework and Course Documents box below.
