Our special thanks to Emma Kerr FCCT for coordinating the event, facilitating the day and keeping everyone encouraged and inspired. There were some powerful discussions and it felt like true collaboration for the future of education in Cornwall. From all the team at OneCornwall - thank you Emma!

Our post-lunch session was Disciplined Inquiry - Understanding and Applying Best Practice with @marcrowland73.bsky.social. This practical session is designed to build confidence in using enquiry as a tool for meaningful, contextually relevant improvement, within the realities of Cornish schools.

Revisiting the Barriers - From Insight to Action, panel session Chaired by Nia Richards FRSA with Kristien Carrington, Gemma Marshall, and Chris Coyle-Chislett. The panel considered what practical actions and partnerships could make the greatest difference across Cornwall’s education landscape.

Session three was our keynote from Nia Richards FRSA on Creative Leadership in Challenging Times. This keynote challenges leaders to think differently about engagement, belonging, and community connection; reframing adversity as a catalyst for innovation.

We moved on to a panel discussion on Exploring the Priorities. Led by Jen Blunden OBE, with a panel of local leaders and practitioners: Kate Littledyke, Janine Bisson and Jason Toy taking a closer look at three priority themes identified through the research.

Our first session of the day was with Professor Tanya Ovenden-Hope drawing on insights from the Pretty Poverty Report, exploring the systemic barriers that continue to impact attendance and belonging across Cornwall.
