“I attended the Education Showroom for the first time this week and was thrilled to be matched with appropriate and top quality education providers. These short meetings gave me a flavour for what the company were offering and I was able to book follow up meetings with companies who knew exactly what I wanted and were experts in their field. I can highly recommend the Education Showroom sessions to all senior leaders.”

“Really useful and engaging event experience to be able to meet with a range of different organisations and discuss options for our schools.

Jenny Illsley- Executive Headteacher Haliwell Homes
