Testimonials

The Outstanding Schools Europe Conference was one of the best conferences that I have attended in a while. The keynote speakers were phenomenal!

Maki NishiharaHead of Early Years and PrimaryAMADEUS International School, Austria

Outstanding at this conference meant much more than outstandingly compliant. Outstanding Schools has redefined what excellence is.

Professor Dr Ger Graus OBEGlobal Education Advisor

Outstanding Schools Europe is a must for all leaders in education to attend. The opportunity to discuss, share, listen and collaborate was rejuvenating following Covid. I congratulate and applaud the organisers on an excellent event.

Stephanie WalmsleyHead of Middle SchoolJohn F. Kennedy International School

The Outstanding Schools conference was an insightful and engaging event. As a previous presenter and attendee, the conference left me feeling motivated and empowered to make a positive impact within the international school community.

Nancy Lhoest-SquicciariniLead FacilitatorThe Educational Collaborative of Interational Schools

The chance to network with folks from many schools in many countries is fabulous. Outstanding Schools created a conference schedule that helped me connect and reconnect with a lot of interesting people.

Dr Paul MagnusonDirector of Research and Professional DevelopmentLeysin American School, Switzerland

The two days were packed with timely and meaningful educational research around inclusion and well-being, teaching and assessment practices, and identifying a positive means to incorporate ed-tech skills into our schools/classrooms. Learned so much from each keynote speaker and the roundtable discussions.

Sophia MorosDirector of Early Childhood and DevelopmentAmerican Community School Athens

An outstanding event, a hugely inspirational atmosphere, thought provoking, collaborate and child focused… a real forum for the future!

Richard GerverAward-Winning Speaker, Bestselling Author and World-Renowned Thinker

It was a pleasure to attend the Outstanding Schools conference in London on 28th February '23. The event ran very smoothly, supported by clear communication prior to the event and an easy to use app to register for different sessions. A noteworthy effort was made to get competent speakers to address themes that transcend the geopolitical framework of schools, which is refreshing. It was a pleasure to interact with educators from different countries and different frameworks, discussing a commonality in what we are all striving for.

Robert BrownePrincipalAsker International School

This was a very inspirational experience - to connect with other schools leaders and exchange amazing experiences.

Francisca LucoHead of SpanishAiglon College

Louise DawsonIndependent Consultant

A great conference. Opportunities to network with others in the industry and share issues and ideas. The speakers were insightful and informative.

Nicolas ArtemisDeputy HeadInternational School of Paphos

A wonderful venue and considering most of us are still getting used to physical events again, you absolutely gave everyone a reminder of what we have been missing for 2-3 years. What you achieved here, you cannot replicate online. Fantastic job Hannah and the OSE Team. We all went home wiser, confident and positive from this conference.

Robert FordDirectorHeritage International School

I’ve been to many conferences and found the speakers as inspiring as the others I have heard. From the perspective of global school leaders, it also gave me an opportunity to broaden my horizon to network with 22 different countries.

There was a plethora of practical tools, pathways and ideas to enable schools and individuals to continue on their learning journeys with the primary focus of supporting and accelerating students opportunities to learn, grow and to achieve success.

This was a superb programme in terms of both breadth and depth, and quality of speakers and content. Fantastic!
