About this Event

📅 Wednesday 8 July 2026

🕘 9.00am–4.00pm

💷 £15 per delegate (including lunch & refreshments)

This is about something bigger than a conference.

Cornwall’s geography and rurality mean that too often, accessing high-quality CPD involves long travel times and significant cost. We want to change that.

This Festival will bring together educators from primary, secondary and Further Education, alongside colleagues in SEND, apprenticeships, skills and careers, for a day of:

✨ High-quality, bite-size, evidence-informed CPD

✨ Cross-phase collaboration

✨ Practical strategies that translate into real classrooms

✨ A celebration of the excellent practice already happening across the county

The strands running throughout the day:

• Digital Technology

• SEND & Inclusion

• Disadvantage & Social Mobility

• Teaching, Learning & Curriculum

• Apprenticeships, Skills & Careers

This is a genuine opportunity to shape a new, collaborative professional learning space for Cornwall — and to showcase the strength of practice across our education system.

If you would like to attend, contribute, or know someone who should be involved, please get in touch: [email protected] (Speakers receive free entry)

Let’s make this something Cornwall is proud of.
