EYFS Beyond the Classroom: A Practical Forest School Approach
An engaging one-hour session that examines how the Early Years Foundation Stage statutory framework can be delivered beyond the classroom through a structured British Forest School approach.
Drawing on the success of Valencia Forest School, we will demonstrate how the successful Forest School methodology aligns with EYFS statutory requirements as well as the statutory primary national curriculum. The focus is practical: curriculum mapping, daily delivery, staff training, risk management, and progression. The session is designed for success-driven school leaders and their EYFS and Primary team leaders seeking a clear, realistic model to implement Forest School within their own settings and to understand the conditions required to do so safely and effectively.

Learning Without Borders in Creative Education
Creative subjects flourish when traditional borders disciplinary, institutional, geographical, and psychological—are dissolved. This session explores how schools can start learning without borders, enabling students to experiment, collaborate, and express themselves more freely. Drawing on case studies from art and design and performance, the session will highlight practical approaches to interdisciplinary and globally connected learning.
Delegates will gain actionable strategies for embedding borderless pedagogy into everyday teaching, curriculum design, and assessment, supporting creativity, risk-taking, and student agency in contemporary creative education.

From Adapting teaching to Adaptive Intelligence: Building Self-Efficacy and Future-Ready Skillsets
This breakout session explores shifting from adaptive teaching to adaptive intelligence in schools. It aims to help students build self-efficacy, agency, and strategic adaptability.AI is framed not as a shortcut, but as a tool for strengthening self-regulation and durable learning. The session draws on cognitive science, self-efficacy theory, and adaptive teaching principles. It introduces the International Olympiad in Artificial Intelligence (IOAI) as a pedagogical ecosystem. IOAI supports high expectations, equitable access, and cross-curricular coherence. Students engage in AI-supported tasks with low barriers and high potential outcomes. Examples include apps for managing coursework, revision planning, and workload balance.
These tasks demand deep curricular understanding while reducing cognitive overload. AI foundations like abstraction and ethical reasoning can be embedded into existing curricula. A bespoke platform, https://leaguesofcode.space supports skill integration.
Challenge is preserved, not diluted, aligning with best practice in adaptive teaching.
Leadership insights include staff development, ethical integration, and data-informed planning. Schools are supported to teach foundational AI concepts confidently and sustainably. Overall, AI is positioned as a means to strengthen human intelligence, not replace it.
