Addressing inequity through education – how do we do it?

This programme does not shy away from the growing inequities in society, or the problems of working in a broken system, but focuses on the positive actions school leaders can take to make a difference to our children, in our schools, in our communities. Our work transforms lives, each day, every day.

Despite the challenges, passionate school leaders remain committed the moral purpose of transforming life chances for all children through education. This programme is for the hopeful, the weary, the frustrated and the optimistic. Together we will encourage one another, explore research informed strategies and share practice.

We will focus on a solution-based approach and draw upon a wide range of materials from the SSAT network and beyond.
