DISCO Manchester

A one-day conference on what schools actually do with assessment data, run by Equin as part of its Data In Schools Conference series and pitched at primary schools. James Pembroke, Director of Strategy at Insight, and Richard Selfridge, education data consultant at the same firm, lead the keynote sessions. Joshua Perry of Smartgrade and Carousel runs a step-by-step session on stripping work out of school data processes, and a Making Data Meaningful panel brings in Hilary Fine, Assessment Lead at Smartgrade, and Vicky Merrick, CEO and founder of Merrick-Ed, with further panellists still to be announced. There are slots for delegates to put their own experience in the room. 08:30 to 15:00 at The Studio on Lever Street. GBP 75 including lunch and refreshments, refundable up to seven days before. Why go: the people building the tools and the people using them in the same room, arguing about workload rather than dashboards. Best for school data leads, and for edtech builders selling into primary education.
