We all work with children and young people from both under-resourced and well-resourced backgrounds. In classrooms, playgrounds, and lunch queues, they share the same space, the same school, the same present.

But will they occupy the same jobs, live the same experiences, and share the same futures?

How can we inspire them to redefine success and explore meaningful, impactful careers that can change the world collaboratively—while embedding moral ambition into the very fabric of our school communities?

How can we bridge the gap between their current lived experiences and the vast potential they hold for tomorrow’s world?

We’ve been collaborating with members of The School for Moral Ambition, our Parent Teacher Association, and staff at Charter Bermondsey to design an immersive careers program. This program empowers students to become experts and change-makers in sustainable food, ethical fashion, renewable energy, technology, and finance—tackling real-worldchallenges while gaining a clear understanding of the pathways to their futures.

Why SEND info often fails to inform teaching

A focus on labels/diagnoses can mislead or delay support: use of screening and assessment (formal and informal) is vital to understand pupil strengths and barriers to inform planning and support, assess, plan and do,

Children today are moving less than any generation before them. Research tells us that fewer than a quarter of preschool-aged children meet recommended physical activity guidelines, while screen use and sedentary behaviours continue to rise. This keynote will explore the latest research surrounding movement and learning, challenge common misconceptions about physical activity in schools, and examine what happens when we place movement back at the heart of educational practice. Delegates will leave with a deeper understanding of why movement matters, not only for children's physical development, but also for their success as learners, both now and in the future.

The move to Executive Headship is far more than a promotion; it is a total evolution of your professional DNA! It’s the moment you trade the daily ‘visibility of the playground’ for a ‘helicopter view’ of wider strategy – a transition that is as exhilarating as it is arguably a little bit terrifying. Claire will share a candid reflection on her first two years within this new role.
