Keynotes
Tom Sherrington: "Inclusive Teaching: The choreography of teaching a whole class at once" (Secondary Staff)
Discover the art and science behind teaching a whole class simultaneously in this insightful session. Focusing on the 'choreography' of classroom instruction, the session explores key strategies and routines that ensure every student is actively engaged and learning; moving beyond assumptions to intentional, systematic planning. Tom delves into practical methods for checking understanding, building prior knowledge, fostering agency, and managing the dynamic needs of thirty learners at once. With an emphasis on real-time feedback, scaffolding, and developing independent learning routines, this session offers actionable solutions for creating truly inclusive classrooms.
Emma Turner: "An introduction to the world of evidence informed instructional design in the primary phase." (Primary Staff)
What we teach and how we teach are interconnected. Designing these for the primary phase involves looking through multiple lenses: subject disciplines, child development, cognitive science, and the unique nature of the primary phase.
In this session, Emma will explore how evidence informed approaches to instructional design in the primary phase can help ensure that all learners receive a joyful and impactful, “introduction to the world”.

Sport Session 3
Andy Hobbs: “Performing under Pressure”
The session will explore the impact of pressure on performance, inviting all participants to take part in a practical task that illustrates how pressure can influence our thoughts and emotions. We will discuss strategies for managing pressure in the lead-up to important events, examine how individuals respond differently to pressure, and share techniques for controlling nerves and anxiety. Furthermore, the session will focus on maintaining clarity of thought in high-pressure situations where the stakes are significant. Using a heart rate monitor, we will demonstrate the brain's response to stress and provide guidance on how to remain composed during critical moments.
