DISCO Manchester

Join us to explore the current state of data in schools and find out what works and what doesn't. 2026-27 is our fourth year of our Data in Schools Conferences, with all-new content, more opportunity to speak to solution providers, and a fantastic line up of guest speakers. As ever, we aim to equip you with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to transform the data culture in your school; to make it learning-centred and workload-light. As well as keynote sessions from an exciting array of speakers, 2026-27 will also see Making Data Meaningful panel discussions, Q and As and more. We’re opening up slots for contributions from delegates too, so you can share what has worked – or not – for you as well. Join our regular speakers James Pembroke (Insight, Director of Strategy, @jpembroke.bsky.social), Richard Selfridge (Insight, Education Data Consultant, @richardselfridge.bsky.social), and Joshua Perry (Smartgrade, Carousel, @joshuaperry.bsky.social) for our step-by-step guide to rationalising your data life. Our panel will be joined by guest speakers from leading organisations in data and assessment, including Hilary Fine, Assessment Lead, Smartgrade, and Vicky Merrick, CEO and founder, Merrick-Ed. Panel TBA. This Primary-focused event includes tea, coffee, lunch and snacks across the day. We look forward to seeing you! Please read our privacy policy here. DISCO Manchester is brought to you by
