CONFERENCES AND BRIEFINGS
Updated 27/03/2026
The graphic illustrates the approximate pattern of Conferences and Briefings each year.
A Conference usually has a single theme or speaker and lasts most of the day. Attendees are catered for.
Briefings may include updates from the Local Authority, Ofsted and/or other organisations promoting opportunities (for example) for school improvement and curricular enrichment.
* The summer GAPH conference (usually the first Friday in June) requires GAPH Membership and comes as an additional cost. It is not part of your SAS subscription.
