Why is this conference relevant?

'It is estimated a baby girl born in 2016 will be 75% more likely to go to university than a boy, if current trends continue' - The Telegraph, February 2019

Throughout primary and secondary education, boys have continued to underperform compared to girls; the complex interplay of pupil characteristics appear to exacerbate this gap.

This one-day event will arm you with a holistic toolkit to target and help boys self-motivate to achieve, in turn benefitting the entire school community.

What can I expect?

This event will host insightful keynotes and content rich workshops designed to address interventions you can lead to engage boys and ensure their progress:

  • increase boys’ aspirations and motivations through simple in-school and at-home approaches
  • take away step-by-step strategies to foster positive attitudes to learning in boys, addressing issues relating to lad culture
  • develop nuanced approaches to yield whole-school benefits
  • gain effective, successfully-proven strategies to raise boys’ overall level of literacy and reading for pleasure
  • deepen your understanding and interpretation of school data, allowing you to produce actionable insight for raising the attainment of boys.
