Final Word: Expert Panel, Q&A & Discussion From the Floor

Your chance to share ideas and insight, ask questions and hear what resonates most with your SBL colleagues

As we close the day, this final session brings the whole delegate network together for a focused, expert-led Q&A with a panel of experienced school business leaders from across the schools landscape.  It’s a chance to explore the themes that have surfaced across the day, raise questions that didn’t fit elsewhere and hear how peers are tackling and overcoming the pressures in their schools and trusts.


The panel will respond to questions from the floor and from the wider SBL community via social media platforms and our magazine readership.  We will discuss the issues that you tell us matter most, offering practical insight, challenge and ideas.  


Whether you want to join the conversation or prefer to listen and absorb, this is a valuable opportunity to consolidate learning from the day and leave with clearer thinking, reassurance and ideas you can use immediately.
