Our theme for the ASCL Annual Conference 2020 is Diverse Leadership.

Through a series of high-profile speakers and innovative workshops we will explore diversity in leadership in all forms, from who we are to what we do, our differing roles and organisations and the synergies between us, the varied backgrounds that we have and the different way that we lead and our aspirations for ourselves, our teams, our children and young people and our communities.

We will examine how we can increase diversity within school and college leadership to help us develop a vibrant, innovative and positive future for the profession. And we will have great opportunities to learn from each other, through sharing experiences and ideas with colleagues from across the leadership spectrum.

With input from leading educationalists, serving school and college leaders and policy makers plus inspiring and informative leaders from other sectors, ASCL Annual Conference 2020 is not to be missed.

We know nurturing wellbeing early in life can make a significant and positive impact on each child™s future. Our role in supporting children™s mental health is invaluable. Professional learning underpins the quality of experience for our pupils and this conference, ˜Roots to Grow and Wings to Fly™, will provide Pre-Prep and Early Years leaders with opportunities to best promote and support mental wellbeing and academic progress, using the indoor and outdoor classroom.

Delegates will hear from inspirational educationalists on the delivery of an excellent education, whereby young children are well-prepared for life™s challenges.



There will be time to network with colleagues and leaders will return to school ready to lead, ensuring the children in their care have the very best start in life, socially, emotionally and academically. Roots will be stronger and the flight path at the end of Year 2 will be ever-more confident.
