Partnership in Focus: Bridget Phillipson talks to Garret Fay at ASCL Conference

Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson has signaled a "reset" in the relationship between the government and the teaching profession during the annual ASCL conference.

Phillipson emphasised a shift toward a collaborative partnership aimed at improving standards and opportunities for every child. The message marks a distinct change in tone, moving away from previous years of friction toward a shared mission for educational excellence.

During the event, the Education Secretary met with our CEO, Garret Fay, to discuss the practicalities of this new era. The two leaders explored how schools are actively working alongside the government to implement meaningful change.
