ASCL Professional Development News

First-class CPD, leadership and career development

10 September 2026

Dear colleagues


Everything ASCL Professional Development builds starts from the same place: a future where every child and young person thrives through an excellent education. That's why we stand alongside school and college leaders with expert support.


That same thinking shapes every programme, course and conference we build. Our values: Integrity, Expertise, Kindness, Courage and Community, inform who we ask to speak and how honestly we deal with what works, so you can trust the ASCL name.


You'll see that in our Digital and AI Leadership Conference on 2 December, built around three parts. First, the groundwork digital leads own standards, cyber security and governance. Garret Fay, CEO of Insignis Academy Trust, focuses on leading AI across a trust, followed by Alice King on building that system at Beauchamp College. Sessions in part two include testing AI against real practice in SEND, marking and inclusion. Our third session features a live panel putting every claim on trial.


You'll leave with practical insight into digital and AI strategy at trust and school level, and honest evidence on where AI genuinely helps and where it doesn't.


Best wishes
