the Bryanston Education Summit 2023
Isn’t it fantastic to escape the classroom or the office for a day, and revel in thought, ideas and play? Taking this opportunity makes us better, happier professionals, and that leads to more success for students. Teachers tend to be givers – but today we can be takers. Take away ideas, test them out, and perhaps there is space to introduce something into your practice or your school.

Will Bridges
Assistant Head Teaching and Learning
We pride ourselves on being a friendly inclusive event that dedicates time and focus to issues that matter to teaching professionals. Please do come and say hello. If there is anything you need on the day – we are here to help.
Next year’s Summit, by the way, will be on Wednesday 5 June 2024. We’re looking forward to it already
Isn’t it fantastic to escape the classroom or the office for a day, and revel in thought, ideas and play? Taking this opportunity makes us better, happier professionals, and that leads to more success for students. Teachers tend to be givers – but today we can be takers. Take away ideas, test them out, and perhaps there is space to introduce something into your practice or your school.
This year’s Summit focuses on three areas (Creativity; ‘Love your mind’; and Teaching and Learning) though of course the whole point is that those three topics can, and should, inform each other.
We also welcome LEGO in the form of The CreativeHUT. Using LEGO, The CreativeHUT team will be exploring the themes of today with some hands-on creativity. Workshops for students will be running throughout. As delegates you are welcome to pop in to see what is going on or to try your hand at robotics, coding, race car design, mosaic making and more.
We hope that you will plot your own path through today’s events. After Daljit Nagra, award-winning poet and Professor of Creative Writing at Brunel University, has kicked off the day, then the three strands move into operation. There is no need to book slots – just get yourself to the right venue and enjoy what is on offer. A word of warning, there are only 5 minutes between events, so don’t dawdle – or you’ll miss the start of the next talk!
This year we have created an extended lunch break to allow delegates to meet, talk and absorb what they have been hearing. After you have enjoyed a delicious Bryanston lunch, we suggest that you look around the Marquee on the terrace, browse the book stall and speak to the exhibitors. You might also take this opportunity to look around the DT Department and meet The CreativeHUT team.

Why do we need to #FlipTheNarrative?
In our current climate of ever evolving acknowledgement of our human truth - we are all diverse beings - what challenges us the most is how we share this space together better and ensure everyone has a seat at the table in life. We will look at what skills we need to think about and how to bring about a more humanised and whole view relating to education and life. Elly has a passion and interest in equality and inclusion for all, and her drive is to ensure that everyone has a seat at the table. In 2014 when her eldest daughter lost her vision through misunderstanding of her disability, Elly sold her business to come home and begin another journey. She shared their story at TEDx Norwich to #flipthenarrative.

3 ways to apply cognitive science to your classroom.
Nearly every school is currently exploring how best to apply cognitive science principles in the classroom. With more and more research constantly coming out, it can be hard to stay on top of the nuances and suggestions for best practice. This session will explore specifically how to do that, with specific focus on retrieval, spacing/interleaving, questioning. It will cover seminal and recent research, as well as give an overview of what we do and don’t currently ‘know’.

Putting creative thinking at the heart of schools - what creativity is, how to cultivate it and how to assess it
Across the world creativity and creative thinking are increasingly valued. A recent report from the Global Institute of Creative Thinking, ‘Creative Thinking in schools across the world: a snaphot of progress in 2022’ (https://www.creativityexchange.org.uk/putting-creativity-at-the-heart-of-schools-), describes the strides which have been taken and, in the same year, 66 countries took part in the first ever PISA Creative Thinking Test.

Understanding and developing teacher expertise: an evidence-based approach
The strongest lever we have to influence student learning is teacher expertise: the skills and judgement, underpinned by beliefs and values, of an expert classroom practitioner. What does the best available research tell us about exactly which skills, knowledge and beliefs make most difference? And what do we know about how that expertise can best be developed, supported and deployed? In this talk Rob Coe share the best evidence-based answers to these questions, and their implications for teachers and school leaders.

From education to University-led research to successful start-ups in the Assistive Tech sector we’re trying to join up all the dots. A cohesive approach involving end users is the only way to improve the global disability product landscape from cost to functionality.

A Personal Story: From ‘Le Plus Ca Change’ to ‘Everything, Everywhere, All At Once
This education summit marks a significant milestone in the presenter’s life. Having spent the past months consulting in Singapore and Australia, he is able to share how various countries are responding to the challenges and opportunities of the past 5 years. His conclusion is that education policy in England is stuck in a time-warp which has disastrous consequences. Instead, the only way to prepare our young people for a future filled with promise and peril is to focus exclusively on building school cultures where the things that make us good humans will flourish.
Supporting the wellbeing of neurodivergent young people
In this presentation, Sascha will talk through some common misconceptions of neurodivergence, give you ways to help you understand neurodivergence minds better and talk through the research that Uncommon has done with neurodivergent young people around their perceptions of school and what does and doesn’t work for them.
The Science of Motivation
What is motivation for learning? How does it work? How can we influence it in the classroom? This session will offer a framework of 5 big ideas from the evidence on motivation plus 5 key strategies we can use to boost attention and effort in the classroom.

Centring pupil voices as we tackle sexism and harmful sexual behaviours
Conversations about sexism and harmful sexual behaviours have become more pressing than ever in the last year. Sparked by the viral Everyone’s Invited website and subsequent Ofsted review into peer-on-peer sexual abuse, this is a topic that has been propelled to the forefront of the education sector with much of the responsibility falling on schools to tackle these issues. At Bold Voices, we have worked with over 20,000 young people, staff and parents in the past year to deliver education
This talk links learning to love your mind to acceptance, belonging and connection - not always easy, when the prevailing narrative still regards autism as a deficit. It considers how the diagnostic criteria frame autistic children and young people as disordered, and invites reflections on the impact of the language we use and how this translates in our interactions with them. What happens if we take a strengths-based approach and reframe autistic cognition as a difference? What is the impact on autistic young people; on their confidence and self-belief? The presentation ends with five key recommendations for educators from autistic young people.
Hannah, a former teacher, will be reading of her poems and discussing her work and inspiration.

The growth of neurodivergence: Unlocking, understanding and uniting the 1 in 5
Awareness of the neurodivergent child is adding layers of complexity for teachers in their dealings with pupils and parents. In this talk, Dr Preetpal Bachra examines what neurodivergence is and how we can add this knowledge to our ‘palette’ of factors when teaching and supporting students (and families).
