Forum outline:
BSA regional forums are FREE for all staff at BSA member schools, and are a valuable opportunity to come together once a term to share experiences, exchange ideas, and discuss current issues affecting boarding.
Designed to foster regional collaboration, these forums offer a supportive and informal space for staff to raise questions, explore best practice, and benefit from peer insight. Whether you’re a Head of Boarding, Houseparent, Matron, or part of the wider pastoral team, the sessions are an excellent way to stay informed, connected, and inspired.
While many of our forums are held online for accessibility, some meetings take place in person to offer more opportunities for networking and relationship-building.
Why attend?
- Stay up to date with developments in the sector
- Discuss local challenges and share region-specific insights
- Contribute to a community of practice focused on continuous improvement
- Ask questions, seek advice, and offer support to peers
- Hear updates from BSA and guest contributors.
