The Annual Youth Conference

As part of our Haberdashers' Advantage programme, the Annual Youth Conference provides a key platform for pupil voice across the Trust. Working in partnership with the Youth Advisory Board means we can use this event to inspire conversations and drive actions on the issues and interests that matter to us the most.

Every year, so far, the Annual Youth Conference has taken place in Goldsmiths’ University, and focuses on one subject, topic, area of concern or issue each year, which impacts our schools and communities. It is run and hosted by pupils, children and young people from year Five to Sixth Form from all our schools. They attend and participate in workshops, discussions and competitions on the day.  

From Climate Change and Sustainability to Mental Health and Belonging, the Annual Youth Conference has become a highlight of the Trust’s calendar and an integral forum for pupil voice across our schools.

The theme for our 2026 Conference was ‘Getting Active’ and the importance of activity and movement - find out more below.
