THE Future Education Symposium is an opportunity to hear from influential figures from education and industry debating with each other and answering questions from the audience.

The school is delighted to invite the community for their forthcoming Future Education Symposium on Thursday September 17 in the Recital Hall at St Catherine’s Campus.

People can attend from 4.30pm for refreshments, with the main event running from 5pm until 6.30pm.

The Future Education Symposium is intended to give Haberdashers’ Monmouth school parents and friends, educationalists and local opinion formers the opportunity to hear from influential figures from education and industry debating with each other and answering questions from the audience. It builds on the discussions and thinking behind the recent curriculum reforms and their Futures Programme.

It will also address much wider questions about the purpose and direction of education in a world where technology, climate change and global instability are calling into question so much that we have previously taken for granted.

The panel will be chaired by Dame Hilary Boulding, a recently appointed Govenor of Haberdashers’ Monmouth School and former president of Trinity College, Oxford.

Other confirmed panel members at present are:

Tom Cambell, CEO of E-ACT Multi Academy Trust

Yvonne Roberts-Ablett, Head of Curriculum Policy at the Welsh Government

Martin Collier, Former Master of Haileybury

Sir Warren East, Former CEO of Rolls Royce

Sarah Fletcher, Former High Mistress of St. Paul’s Girls’ School, London.

Representatives of Welsh Government and qualifications awarding bodies have also been invited to take part.

This is a fantastic opportunity to hear expert insights, ask questions, and think about future pathways in education.

Places are limited so please ensure you book via the form below to secure your place.
