Data-driven school improvement

Looking for ways to better harness data to drive improvement at your school? This symposium will connect you with international experts, and others in the independent sector who are already realising the benefits of using data to inform school-wide change. Participants will explore tools and techniques that will improve data collection, analysis and interpretation.

Leading improvement as a middle leader
