The 2024 Fair Education Alliance Fair Education Summit  

9 July 2024 | Allen & Overy, London 

Driving System Change Together 

What is the Fair Education Summit?  

Our Fair Education Summit is the single biggest gathering of leaders working to make education fairer in England. In this General Election year, come together to create an education system that ensures every child thrives. 

Why attend? 

🤝Elevate your network: Strengthen your relationships to collaborate with key policymakers, businesses, third sector leaders, young people and school and trust leaders all working to make education fair  

💡Ignite inspiration: Hear about and learn from those already driving change through impactful advocacy and collective action

🌱 Be part of the change: Further align and better understand the FEA’s shared goals for influencing policy, and plan how we will continue to drive system change together and individually  

Who is the Summit for? 

The Annual Summit is a key component of FEA membership, and attendance is a core expectation of membership. You should send: 

  • One senior leader from each of our member organisations. This should be the CEO or someone with strategic oversight of policy or programmes if more relevant 

  • Other key sector stakeholders by invitation 

Why now? 

This gathering has never been more needed. With a General Election this year, prospective governments are setting forth their visions for our education system. But the challenges they will face are immense:  

📉 the attainment gap has never been greater  

📚 the wellbeing of school staff and young people is a huge concern

🌍young people themselves have decreasing confidence that their education is preparing them for life 

🚸child poverty continues to rise whilst services are unable to meet demand  

Innovation and collaboration are essential to meeting these challenges. Our members and other organisations are already working together to develop solutions, and our Fair Education Summit presents an opportunity to spread expertise and fresh ideas across the sector and to decisionmakers.  

Our focus this year will be on connecting the expertise across our membership to policy, so more children and young people everywhere can benefit from a fairer education system.  

Summit Agenda 

Coming soon! 

Thank you so much to all our members who have sent us ideas and suggestions.  

We are currently building out our impactful agenda and look forward to sharing more information with you throughout the spring!

At our last Summit, we brought together almost 400 leaders to share their innovations and solutions to education’s biggest problems. In 2022, we heard from Sir Tom Brighouse, Mayor Steve Rotherham, and Anne Longfield CBE. We had an energising day and look forward to what insights we can create together this year.
