Who we are
If you’re not familiar with us at EdExec, we’re education specialists. Our focus is school business and operational leadership, working with school business leaders (SBLs) who oversee the financial and business management of schools and trusts. We create a curated portfolio of resources that supports and informs the SBL community across the UK’s schools and trusts.
Our events sit at the heart of this, giving school business professionals space to learn, connect and stay ahead
Our events bring SBLs together in an environment that encourages discussion, networking and practical learning and upskilling. The reason they work so well is simple. Everything is tailored. Everything is specialist. Everything is designed with SBLs in mind.
Here at EdExec, we champion the role of business and financial leaders in schools
The events are designed specifically for school business professionals and leaders whether generalists in finance, HR and operations, as well as COOs, CFOs and CMOs. The result is an interactive, relevant and genuinely useful experience that feels very different to the usual conference circuit.
Our events give us the opportunity to bring this community together in person to benefit from a full day of CPD, learning and networking.
Curate your own day around the topics that matter to you. Choose from a varied programme across finance, HR, procurement, estates, operations, leadership and change, with practical takeaways you can put into action.
Hear directly from practising school business leaders and sector specialists, with experience and insight you can put into practice.
Explore the issues shaping your role, from finance, HR and estates to procurement, operations, leadership and change.

Don't just take
our word for it!
