With so many local and national pressures placed upon us, we appreciate you taking the time to come together in the hope that, as a Partnership, we can continue to work together, learn together, excel together and be better together. 2016/17 was a busy year for the Partnership, and with so many new and improved areas of work, the Partnership has never been stronger. 2017/18 is shaping up to be another successful year, building even more opportunities for our children, colleagues and communities across the City and beyond. The conference planning team have put together a day that we feel will not only highlight the importance of a strong and unified leadership, but will also give you food for thought within your selected workshops. We hope that you will find today valuable and that the day will give you the opportunity to come together with fellow leaders to network, collaborate and share the highs and lows we have all experienced through 2016/17. As always, we would encourage you to take the time to visit, and talk with, all of our exhibitiors here today. These providers have been carefully selected to ensure a wide range of services and products are available to your school. Without them, we could not provide a quality conference that is great value for money. Now, more than ever, there is a need for collaboration and support with fellow colleagues to ensure a better tomorrow for all our children and young people. Enjoy your day!

A sprinter who always gave his all and retired having won medals at all four majors – Darren is a motivational speaker of the highest calibre. His charm, wit and business acumen qualify him to inspire and impress corporate audiences all over the world. Raised amidst the gang culture of a council estate in Manchester, in a single parent family, Darren never imagined what the world had to offer until he joined an athletics club as a child and made a firm decision to prove those who told him he would never amount to anything, resoundingly wrong. Fast on his feet, but reckless and unmotivated as an athlete, it was only when his friend was murdered when he was 18 that Darren took his fate into his hands and began to achieve his sporting potential. At the Olympic Games in Sydney in 2000, Campbell won silver in the 200m final. It was the first time a British man had made the Olympic 200m podium since Alan Wells 20 years earlier in Moscow. Campbell was ecstatic, but still determined to achieve more. Come the sprint relay final at the Athens Olympics, (where the USA were the clear favourites), Darren along with Gardener, Devonish and Lewis-Francis, showed superior speed and brilliant baton changing that took them to victory. This was the crowning moment of Darren’s career. On retiring from athletics Darren has gone on to be a popular broadcaster and founder of a successful sports nutrition business; www.pas-nutrition.co.uk amongst busy with other projects.
