Bringing together senior teams from independent schools and with input from over 25 expert speakers, attend Westminster Insight’s flagship one-day Independent Schools Conference at America Square Conference Centre in London. Take away innovative solutions and actionable strategies to help you adapt and prepare for the challenges ahead.
With changes to VAT and charitable business rates relief for independent schools in England, how can you mitigate future risks and ensure that parents and children continue to choose your school?
We will hear from experts in financial planning, including David Woodgate, Chief Executive of ISBA, Richard Harman, Chief Executive of AGBIS and Tania Botting, Chair of the Independent Association of Prep Schools (IAPS). Hear from a range of independent schools about how they are diversifying revenue streams and finding creative solutions to maximise revenues in and out of term time.
We will explore effective ways to stand out and secure your competitive edge with a focus on innovative growth marketing and admissions strategies. From pre-prep through to senior school recruitment, communicate your unique selling points, reach your target market and achieve the best results.
We will provide a strategic update on cross-sector partnerships, assessing the risk and opportunities in school collaboration and exploring the value of working with local businesses and alumni. We will hear from schools that have developed strong bursary and scholarship programmes to promote inclusivity and widen access.
Leading schools will share their sustainability strategies to reduce their carbon footprint, drive energy efficiency, reduce waste, and embed sustainability in the curriculum and the school culture. We will share best practices to support equality, inclusion and wellbeing, and create a nurturing learning environment, with contributions from experts in child wellbeing, neurodiversity, mental health and online safety.
