                           Living Out Your Vision: Meeting the Needs of the Most Vulnerable
A Conference for Church School Leaders

Join us for an inspiring and practical day designed especially for Church of England school leaders who are committed to shaping communities where every child can flourish. Living Out Your Vision brings together nationally respected voices and hands‑on expertise to support leaders in championing inclusion, belonging, and hope within their schools.

We are honoured to welcome The Right Revd Dr Nicholas Chamberlain, Acting Bishop of Lincoln, and Steve Chalke MBE, founder of the Oasis Charitable Trust, as our keynote speakers. Bishop Nicholas brings thoughtful, grounded leadership shaped by deep pastoral experience across the Diocese. Steve Chalke adds profound insight into what it means to lead with compassion, courage, and a deeply rooted Christian vision—particularly in service of the most vulnerable. Together, they will help guide and inspire our shared reflections through the morning.

Alongside our keynote sessions, participants will have access to a rich programme of workshops tailored to the everyday realities of leading a Church of England school. Topics include:

  • Developing and nurturing spirituality across the whole school community
  • Strengthening the governor’s role in supporting disadvantaged and vulnerable pupils
  • Embedding inclusion and belonging as core expressions of Christian distinctiveness
  • Using case studies in RE to deepen understanding, engagement, and reflective practice

Whether you’re looking to refresh your vision, strengthen your leadership toolkit, or gain practical strategies for meeting diverse needs, this conference offers a space to learn, reflect, and connect with colleagues who share your commitment to transformative education.

We are incredibly grateful for the generous support from NCS, which has enabled us to lower the cost of attending the conference.
