Hear from the CEO of MTPT and look at your strategy for supporting working parents in your organisation
This session will be held on Monday, 19th October 2026 from 2pm to 3.30pm at Sandringham School.
If your school isn’t struggling to recruit, if your staff seem happy, if you’ve never had a formal complaint, it’s tempting to assume this doesn’t apply to you. And yet gender pay gaps remain high, discrimination is tolerated and potential is wasted.
Join Emma Sheppard, Founder of The MTPT Project, the UK’s charity for parent-teachers, to understand why our parent-educators are so important to everything we do in schools.
You’ll leave with:
- The Schools Workforce Census data most leaders have never seen, and what it means for your school
- An understanding of the strategies needed to support our parent-educators, and how to do these well
- Steps you can implement straight away
- A longer-term plan for building a school where staff don’t just stay, but stay well
