NAHT Cymru is bringing our annual conference to West Wales this year to share programmes, plans and consult our members about needs and priorities and most importantly, offer advice and support to all of our members across all leadership roles. We will be delivering a programme of events aimed at helping heads stay informed of the most recent developments in education as well as offering advice on how to avoid the many pitfalls which await us.

Some of the many topics to be discussed are:

• Wellbeing for school leaders


• Devolution of pay


• Changes to statutory ALN provision

Joining us this year for dinner will be legendary rugby referee, Nigel Owens, so all members are warmly invited to join us this year for what promises to be a rewarding and engaging conference on the 9th and 10th of November at the Cliff Hotel and Spa, Gwbert. Also if you wish to book a room either side of the conference (8th and 10th) please do so directly with the hotel and quote NAHT for discount.
