* SOLD OUT * Reading Conference

* SOLD OUT *

‍

Our last conference for 2024 will be in November in Reading - ideal for schools and colleges anywhere in the South, but also accessible for those a little further afield due to the excellent transport links and lots of free parking.

Our Earwig Conferences have been great successes, as both national and local get-togethers for Heads, Deputies, Assessment Coordinators, Earwig Admins, Earwig Ambassadors and other assorted keen Earwig-ites.  Take a peek at the agenda below and you'll see what we'll get up to.

This conference will be held in the Hilton in Reading, which is a smart venue with on-site gym and pool and super rooms. The conference ticket includes all the usual refreshments and also a slap up lunch in the restaurant.

Aside from the victuals, this is what you can expect to get from the day:

• Make sure that your staff are using the tools to their full extent and thus ensure that they are working as efficiently as possible
• Work with other SEN colleagues to find ways to improve key activities, such as reporting, school analytics and parental engagement
• The opportunity to hear presentations from senior people in leading special schools about how they use the platform
• Let Earwig know how the software can improve, to provide special school staff with an even better and more feature-rich experience

‍

The highlight of this conference will be a presentation from Brookfields School, who have used Earwig for some years and been instrumental in the creation of our editable EHCP-based frameworks and annual review reports. Brookfields is one of the leading special schools in Berkshire and is, of course, rated Outstanding.

‍

The event will be hosted by Alex Hurle and Roland Bugler, who will be familiar to many of you, and who will focus on opportunities and issues that they are dealing with among the 150+ schools that they support. The draft schedule for the day is included below. There will be a lot to cover, as always, and you will get a CPD certificate at the end of it, to verify the hard work that you will put in.
