Our Senior Leaders’ Conference with this year’s theme on Racial Justice: Empowering Change for Schools.

We have a moral and economic imperative to eliminate systemic racism and racial injustices Schools engaging in racial justice contribute to a more inclusive, informed, and equitable society.

It is crucial for young people to learn about equity and social justice so they can thrive in our increasingly global, multilingual and multicultural world. 

Attending this conference will help school leaders to learn more about the need to understand how important it is to ensure pupils experience representation of global majority heritage individuals, even if they live in a largely WGB community.

We live and work in an increasingly inter-connected world. As school leaders, we should feel compelled to open our children’s eyes so they become curious, well-informed and capable of understanding how to embrace an understanding of their place in this complex world.

We are delighted to welcome our Keynote Speakers, The Rt Revd Dr Rose Hudson-Wilkin, the Bishop of Dover and Elizabeth Olulari, National Lead for Racial Justice at the Church of England. We will also be joined by The Rt Revd Mark Tanner, the Bishop of Chester.
