The Norfolk Headteachers' Conference | 12 October 2023
VNET Education CIC and Educate Norfolk are delighted to be jointly hosting the Norfolk Headteachers’ conference in 2023/24. Our aim is to bring the county’s headteachers together to inspire and inform. According to your priorities, the conference is themed around Inclusion and Recruitment and Retention. We share in your belief that Norfolk should be among the best places to be educated in the country, best for the staff who work here and of course the best for every child.
Jaz Ampaw Farr embodies this message in her work, if you haven’t seen her speak, take this opportunity! Her work is genuinely transformational and all delegates will get 6 months access to her online package following the conference, completely free.
Wondering what the near future holds for education? Come and hear Sam Freedman share his insights on education policy now, and after the next general election.
Keynote: The Power of Everyday Heroes with Jaz Ampaw-Farr
You came into Education to make a difference. The problem is that there are a lot of barriers in the way whether it’s retention, inclusion, SEND or funding there is always the challenge to do more with less. What’s important to remember while navigating chaos is that not only have you survived 100% of your toughest days but you also have agency and resources to create and embed real change.
In this keynote Jaz will share her incredible journey and how education and more importantly the individuals in school made it possible for her to go from a broken little girl to Speaker of the year and International resilience expert. Be prepared to laugh, cry and leave on a high with practical tips and strategies that you can apply the very next day.
