Non-association Independent Schools Alliance - Inauguration Conference

Join us for the inauguration of NAISA, bringing independent schools together providing support and representation.

The NAISA Inaugural Conference brings together leaders from non-association independent schools for a full day of insight, collaboration and practical support. Taking place in Birmingham, the event will explore the current landscape for independent schools in 2026, with a strong focus on inspection readiness, AI in schools, SEND and alternative provision, and sustainable school leadership.

The day features keynote addresses, a plenary panel discussion, extended practical workshops, breakout sessions tailored to real-world challenges, and spotlight case studies showcasing small schools doing big things. Delegates will also hear about the launch and purpose of NAISA (Non-association Independent Schools Alliance) and conclude with a powerful final keynote and closing plenary focused on connection, collaboration and collective strength.

Designed for proprietors, headteachers and senior leaders, this conference offers both strategic thinking and practical tools, alongside valuable opportunities for networking with peers across the sector.
