The Biggest of Big Days Out
What happened when Bath and Wells MAT asked us to partner with them for a Festival of Education for over 1500 of their teachers
1500+ Educators, 50+ workshops, 25+ Associates, seven strands, two glorious days = #BWMATFEST25
In June 2025 we partnered with Bath and Wells MAT to lay on an amazing Festival of Education for staff from all of their Somerset schools.
With over 25 of our Associates working across seven strands delivering two days' worth of workshops, the event was a massive success.
And the sun shone non-stop on the venue, the wonderful (and vast) Bath and West Showground.
Staff left feeling valued, energised and inspired with countless ideas to transform all areas of their practice.
We've been running our celebrated Big Days Out for many years and in various places (including Belgian woodland) but never anything on this scale.
If you would like to explore how we can work with colleagues from across your MAT or school group, please give us a call on +44(0)1267 211432 or drop us an email.
Events such as these show how unique Independent Thinking is in the educational landscape.
And, of course, kudos to BWMAT for having the ambition and vision to make such a day happen.
Here's to the next!
