The "S" in SBM—Leadership—is often the most challenging aspect of the role. The ISBL Leadership & HR Strategy Summit in Coventry focuses on the "Leading Support Services" and "Human Resources" domains of the professional standards. As recruitment and retention continue to be the primary risks for school leaders in 2026, this summit provides innovative solutions for building a resilient and motivated workforce.
The summit explores the psychological aspects of leadership, including managing difficult conversations, fostering a culture of well-being, and implementing flexible working patterns in a school environment. Expert HR consultants will provide legal updates on employment law changes expected in late 2026, ensuring that your school’s policies remain current and protective of both the employer and the employee.
Case studies from high-performing MATs will demonstrate how centralized HR functions can reduce the administrative burden on individual schools while improving the quality of recruitment. This event is highly interactive, utilizing "Role-Play Leadership Scenarios" to help participants practice their skills in a safe, professional environment. It is an essential gathering for anyone looking to transition from a managerial role into a strategic leadership position within the UK education sector.
