œThis is a unique opportunity for school leaders, leadership teams, teachers and support staff to reflect on and develop policy and practice in their schools across both phases, making sure that the learning journey continues seamlessly for children as they move through school.

Day one™s theme will be around Getting the Balance Right because we know you want to get the best results out of your school without compromising on effective teaching and learning.

Day two™s theme is focused on Reclaiming the Research “ what does it really tell us? and will explore what really works well for school leaders based on the research.

Our keynote speakers and workshops across both days have been carefully chosen to inform and inspire delegates, provoke discussion and debate, highlight the very latest and best research and pedagogy in Early Years and Primary Education.

Did you spot 'Improve Your Eyesight Naturally' by Leo Angart in The Notebook magazine with the Sunday Mirror?

œLeading archaeologist Gustav Milne reckons it lies in our past. Humans evolved over three million years, living off the land, hunting and gathering, living simply. And then came 24-hour supermarkets, ondemand television and takeaways. The sofa now contributes to more deaths than the motor car. And with only 10% of job roles now requiring any kind of physical effort, our sedentary lifestyles are causing this generation and the next to fall into a trap of physical illiteracy.

In our quest for convenience, we™ve allowed our world to control us, and Milne argues that this has created an urban paradox that stints human evolution. It™s time to reconsider how we work, rest and play to better fit our biology. In short, we need to get back to being cavemen. We need to uncivilise our genes.

Lifestyle choices are shaped by complex cultural, economic and societal influences, so knowing where to begin is a tough call. In this fascinating book, we™re taken through a beautifully researched and easy-to-read analysis of the physiological, metabolic and psychological factors that can have a impact on our personal health and wellbeing. Diet, exercise and social networks are all in there, but the author digs deeper, into the architecture and planning of the places in which we live and work, teasing out the need for greener cities and buildings designed with evolutionary-concordant principles.

While much of what Milne writes is common sense, it™s not common practice. Adopting the changes may take time, but through simple steps “ eating and living like huntergatherers, getting tribal and roaming free “ we can learn lessons from our prehistoric past and build a healthier urban future. Get it right and we create our own Garden of Eden.
