Headteacher conference: a view from schools on boosting standards

Darllenwch y dudalen hon yn Gymraeg

Thank you to everyone who took time out of their very busy schedules to attend the secondary headteacher conference in Cardiff on 8 November. 

It was wonderful to see so many headteachers from across Wales come together to network and to hear the Cabinet Secretary for Education, Lynne Neagle give a keynote speech, put questions to her, and participate in two roundtable discussions chaired by Sir Alasdair McDonald and Professor Dylan Evans. 

Special thanks go to those who shared their experiences and strategies with the audience. Chris Parry, Lewis Boys, Pengam and Sarah Parry from Llanishen High during the Behaviour as a barrier to learningsession, and to Gwenno Davies and Dr Gareth Evans, Ysgol y Creuddyn, during the Standards: literacy and numeracy session.  Thanks also to Dr Cameron Downing, University of York on his contribution regarding the RILL programme.

You can see the video of the speeches and discussion sessions on the day

Thanks to everyone who provided their comments during the day, however, we would still welcome your input.  You may have had discussions back at school and have additional comments to make.  Please respond below.
