Red Kite Day 8

Finding hope in a challenging world

Friday 3 July

Red Kite Day 8 will bring colleagues from our secondary and special alliance schools together for a day of inspiration, professional learning and collaboration.

Taking place across four of our alliance schools, this year’s event uses a refreshed conference model that allows us to deliver high-quality professional development and meaningful networking opportunities while remaining cost-effective and accessible for our schools.

The day will include inspirational keynote speakers, subject-specific sessions, practical workshops and dedicated time for colleagues to connect and share practice.
