  • My first time at NGA Conference and wow! What a day, so much useful information, set out clearly with inspiration speakers. I went away with 3 things I want to focus on. Thank you :-) roll on next year!

  • I went home buzzing with knowledge that I wanted to share with our other governors and school leaders. I also felt more empowered within my own role.

  • I thoroughly enjoyed being part of a well organised and conscientiously put together event with NGA; we have only been involved with NGA for a short while in my own MAT but we have found them to be a community of committed professionals who truly care about their work, and this was an infectious feeling throughout.
