We are delighted to host the annual John West-Burnham Memorial Lecture 2025.

We are delighted to announce the upcoming annual John West-Burnham Memorial Lecture, a pivotal event for our network and for all leaders committed to shaping the future of our society through schools. This year, we are especially excited to welcome Malcolm Groves, Director of Schools of Tomorrow, as the distinguished speaker.

This thought-provoking lecture will explore how the core principles and daily practices within our schools can foster empathy, engagement, and participation, ultimately creating a more caring society. Malcolm will delve into how leaders can cultivate environments where contribution is not just taught, but lived.
