2018 CPD Conference

The annual conference is a key part of our identity as a Teaching School.

Now in its 4th year, the annual teaching and learning conference at BGGS couples the best of our in-house practice with cutting edge innovation and updates from nationally respected figures to provide delegates with a host of practical solutions.

With almost 60 different sessions to choose from and the option to come for half a day if a full day proves too much, there really is something for everyone.
