How can we create an education system to ensure every child can achieve and thrive? 

With new reforms shaping schools and trusts, leaders face the challenge of turning policy into practice while ensuring inclusivity, innovation, and sustainability. The past year has seen the continued rollout of the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill, alongside strengthened national curriculum requirements and updated Ofsted inspection frameworks, placing increased focus on wellbeing, teaching quality, and equitable outcomes. At the same time, the rise of AI, digital learning tools, and data-driven school improvement is transforming how schools operate, while workforce pressures demand innovative approaches to recruitment, retention, and leadership development. 

The Institute for Government & Public Policy (IGPP) has long been at the forefront of education sector events, delivering conferences that inspire, inform, and equip leaders to tackle real-world challenges. Building on the success of previous editions, the Future of Academies Show and Exhibition 2027 will bring together leaders from MATs, academies, and schools to explore five key themes: implementing reforms effectively, embedding digital transformation, delivering inclusion at scale, rethinking workforce strategy, and achieving trust-wide excellence. Attendees will gain practical insight, hear from pioneering case studies, and connect with peers to share strategies that work in practice. 

Join the Institute for Government & Public Policy at the Future of Academies Show and Exhibition 207, to gain the strategic insight and practical tools needed to translate national reform into measurable local impact. Strengthen your organisation’s readiness for change, forge influential cross-sector partnerships, and leave equipped to lead inclusive, high-standard education with clarity, confidence and long-term vision for the next decade.
