Welcome to the AGBIS Core Events Programme
This page lists all the events we run routinely, which we recommend your governing body attends to stay on top of constant changes in the sector. We are delighted to have Class Technology Solutions Limited sponsor our programme this year! This sponsorship means we are able to provide more training to our member schools to ensure your governing body is the best it can be. You can find out more about them and their contribution to improving education in the UK here.
