Leadership that makes a difference to children
The excitement is building as we look forward to the opening of the conference in Birmingham on Wednesday. Children will very much be the focus as we think about the curriculum they will need, how we narrow the gap so that all achieve and how we bring about a sustainable system.
In the picture is Vanni Treves, Chair of NCSL's governing council who opens the conference and Christine Gilbert, Her Majesty's Chief Inspector, who speaks on Friday morning.
