Festival of Education

EdFest, as the Festival of Education is well-known, has become one of the leading events on the UK educational calendar since its inauguration in 2010.

The Festival is no conference: it is a fun event that seeks to inspire, to support and to transform, to be truly representative and welcoming to the whole education sector. We work tirelessly with experts in organisations to bring the very best content, experience and expertise to the Festival for the benefit of teachers and school leaders, and hence for young people.
