CST People and Culture Conference 2025

The success of the education system hinges on adults who are well-rested, valued, supported, and championed by society. Workforce resilience and wellbeing require a positive working culture for all staff that promotes collaboration, aspiration, support and a recognition that the flourishing of adults is essential for the overall success of our schools.

This conference will explore how culture can be intentionally crafted to foster belonging and collective identity, enhanced team cohesion and, ultimately, better performance. We, as educators and leaders, are the custodians of growth and opportunity, ensuring positive experiences for those in our care.

Our aim is to cultivate environments where adults flourish, fostering opportunities for children to thrive. By joining this conference, you will have the opportunity to:

  • Explore the unique challenges of fostering a people-centred culture within your trust
  • Discuss perspectives on the emerging world of work, and the implications for trust HR specialists
  • Gain insights from voices outside of education and learn from shared challenges and experiences
  • Deepen your knowledge of strategies and research to use in your schools and beyond
