Attending the Schools & Academies Show was an incredibly valuable experience. The event provided me with a wealth of insights into the latest trends, tools, and strategies in education, from expert-led seminars to insightful panel discussions. I left with lots of ideas and powerful questions to take back and discuss with colleagues across my Trust, as well as a deeper understanding of emerging technologies and solutions to enhance teaching and operations.Deputy Director, HISP Teaching School Hub
