To help Free School Proposers to fully understand the demands of opening a new school, Place has organised a conference where the founders and advisors of 2011 openers will tell their own stories.

Participation for school proposers is free and all attendees will be given the opportunity to participate in either a half day risk planning workshop, a half day legal/governance workshop, a half day ICT workshop or an evaluation of Microsoft 365.

The event will take place in London on 4th October from 8.30am to 13.30pm at Cardinal Place, Victoria. It is open to anyone looking to open a Free School in 2012 and beyond. Full details are available at www.freeschoolsforum.co.uk
