Suffolk PE & School Sport Conference 2023

We are pleased to welcome back Suffolk's PE, School Sport & Physical Activity conference in person at The Hold in Ipswich. The event will run from 9:30am-3pm and is open to both primary and secondary school PE Leaders/Specialists, as well as, Headteachers or a member of Senior Leadership team.

We have all had to adapt to our everchanging world over the last two years, and schools in particular have seen, first hand, the impacts these changes have had on children and young people. One thing that hasn't changed is the power of physical activity and the influence that PE can have on a child's life. Please join us for a day to listen, share, and learn how we can continue to use PE, School Sport and Physical Activity as a tool for improvement in physical, mental and emotional health, alongside academic attainment.
