Born in the North East
Join us for a conference that brings together head teachers from across the region to explore leadership rooted in local pride and shared purpose. Through thought-provoking keynotes, practical workshops, and meaningful networking, we’ll spotlight the unique challenges and opportunities of leading schools in our communities.
There will be keynotes from:
- Dr Fiona Hill
- Prof Steve Munby

Themes include the importance of belonging, imperfect leadership, and excellence in education. There will also be workshops covering topics including an evidence-informed approach to Pupil Premium, the impact of career-related learning, and developing future leaders in education.
