The day will start at 08.30 for coffee and registration.

The keynote speaker will begin proceedings at 09.00 with seminars running from 10.30-12.00 and 13.30-15.45.

Lunch will be provide free at 12.00-13.30, when delegates will have time to browse the exhibition room, meet and discuss the latest ICT products with over 35 national and local exhibitors.

The conference was well-attended with over 70 delegates on both days, drawn from not only headteachers, but also from different parts of the extended schools community.

It was especially significant in offering a vision for rural education as articulated by Jon Mager, and which, at Jon's request, we share with all headteachers and others in the Authority as a significant sign-post for future developments.

The conference covered issues that are pertinent to the education sector, such as the implications of the proposed new Ofsted inspection arrangements and the latest update from key members of the 14-19 Curriculum & Qualifications Reform Working Group. Neil Davies, Chair of NGC looked at 'New relationships with schools', following on from David Miliband's recent North of England speech.
