Ready2Lead?

Leading others doesn't always come naturally but it is something each and every one can learn. Ready2Lead? is a leadership conference in Bedford for Year 12.

[The Harpur Trust @TheHarpurTrust]

Meet our team of #ready2lead ambassadors together with @amanisimps. Since the very first conference we have involved students in the planning and running of the event. We couldn’t do this without them.

[Ready2Lead? @ready2Lead]

Exceptional. Remarkable. Phenomenal. Odd. Uncommon. Some of the qualities of being a leader according to our key note speaker, the brilliant @amanisimps @TheHarpurTrust

8 #bedfordboroughschools assembled and live for this year’s #ready2lead conference at @BedfordSchool It’s good to be back! Welcome to all @BedfordGirlsSch @BedfordModern @SharnbrookAca @STEMcollege @Mark_Rutherford @MRS_SixthForm @BiddenhamIntSch @STMBedford @ChallengerMAT

[The Harpur Trust @TheHarpurTrust]

Our Education Development Advisor Ritu is one of the key people working behind the scene to bring #Ready2Lead to Bedford. So who better to kick off proceedings. @HT_Education

[The Harpur Trust @TheHarpurTrust]

Embracing technology and hybrid working means that we could still hear from Simon Everitt of @bedford school despite him being unable to join us today. This sixth form leadership programme is very much his baby so his virtual address certainly kicked things off #ready2lead.

[The Harpur Trust @TheHarpurTrust]

One of the most popular online sessions last year was a talk by @amanisimps who inspired our students with his powerful life story. Amani’s journey as a teen led to him being stabbed 7 times. He’s now a social-entrepreneur and youth coach and we’re honoured to have him here again

[Ready2Lead? @ready2Lead]

Welcome to session 5 of #readytolead2020 with our guest speaker @amanisimps

[Ready2Lead? @ready2Lead]

We are really excited to catch up with the participating schools tomorrow and to hear @amanisimps again.

[Harpur Trust Education @HT_Education]

Are you Ready2Refresh? A few months since @Ready2Lead2020 and we can't wait for tomorrow's twilight session with @BedfordSchool @BedfordModern @Mark_Rutherford and @BiddenhamIntSch on self-leadership and project development presented by @amanisimps #inspiringbedfordstudents

[Ready2Lead? @ready2Lead]

Can we have a big shout out for Simon Everitt at @BedfordSchool - he has been Ready2Lead us through the last few months of planning and has worked tirelessly to bring the conference to fruition. @HT_Education @TheHarpurTrust @Mark_Rutherford @BedfordModern @BedfordGirlsSch
