Join us at The Sunday Times Festival of Education: 18-19th June 2015

We’re thrilled to be working with Summerhouse Education on the Sunday Times Festival of Education again this year on marketing and design. Set against the inspiring landscape of Wellington College, the Festival is now well established as one of the largest, most respected forums for thought leadership, innovations and developments in the field of education.

Attendees include education’s most forward-thinking innovators, influencers, practitioners of change, politicians, journalists, business leaders, policy makers, students and parents; all of whom live and breathe education every day. It’s a wonderful and unique opportunity for anyone involved or interested in education to come together to debate, learn, share, engage and grow.

This year’s event boasts speakers such as Tinie Tempah, Al Murray, Carol Dweck, Piers Morgan, Ken Robinson, Sebastian Faulks, Julian Cope, Michael Wilshaw, Stella Rimington, Bonnie Greer and many more. See the full list of fabulous speakers here.

The agenda, which is rich and diverse, offers something for everyone – with a plethora of activities, debating forums, workshops, CPD activities and networking opportunities for students, parents and teachers alike.

Themes this year maintain a strong focus on further education and skills, technology, special educational needs (SEN), inspiring leaders, school to school, lessons for the future, big ideas, research, teaching schools, creativity and much more.

In true festival spirit, there is camping and glamping available on site- you can either pitch your own tent or indulge in a Snoozy by Snoozebox. The Festival runs from the 18-19 June, with gates opening at 8am. Sessions run from 9.10am to approx 5.30pm with The Social afterwards on Thursday, taking place between 6.30-10pm, providing food, drink and live music and entertainment to provide the perfect setting to continue the debates of the day.

View the Festival programme here and then secure your tickets here. Tickets come in all shapes and sizes – you can buy day passes for the Thursday or Friday, or a 2-day pass at a discounted rate. Groups of five-nineteen people get incredible discounts, as do students aged 12-17, students over 18 and NQTs. Students under 12 go free, so teachers can and do take their whole class to soak up the Festival and all it has to offer. Tickets for The Social on Thursday night include entrance and a tempting buffet, and are priced at £20.
