Cornwall’s first county-wide Education and Skills Festival, hosted by Truro and Penwith College and delivered in partnership with EEF. 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 Keynote Speakers: Amjad Ali (Try This Teaching) Claire Badger (InnerDrive) Anna Round (Youth Futures Foundation) Ruth Sparkes (Creator of the Teachie app) Dr Tanya Ovenden-Hope (Plymouth MARJON University - Cornwall) Beth Brooks (Southwest Social Mobility Commission) Stacey Sleeman & Ann Vandermeulen (LSIP strategy) 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.
