We are delighted to announce that bookings for the Earwig National Conference 2026 are now open.
Taking place at the exclusive four-star DoubleTree by Hilton in the heart of Stratford-upon-Avon, this flagship event will be a key date in the SEND school calendar. The conference is open to all Earwig schools nationwide and brings together professionals from across the country to collaborate, reflect and share best practice.
Spanning two full days, the Earwig National Conference 2026 will feature a programme of expert-led discussions and interactive workshops focused on assessment, effective use of evidence, reporting and benchmarking. A central theme of the conference is the sharing of pedagogical approaches and operational processes across Earwig special schools, enabling delegates to gain practical insights they can take back to their settings.
Networking has proven to be one of the most valuable aspects of previous conferences, which is why the event will once again be hosted over two days. This extended format maximises opportunities for meaningful conversation, idea-sharing and professional connection, ensuring every delegate gains lasting value from their attendance.
