Fair Education Summit 2025

What is the Fair Education Summit?

The Fair Education Summit is our flagship event – the largest gathering of organisations tackling educational inequity in the UK. This year, we will come together at the iconic Science Museum, a place that has innovation and learning at its heart, to launch our pioneering new strategy.

The Summit will bring together leaders from across the Alliance to build the capacity to collaborate across our membership, across sectors, and across levels of government so we can shift the conditions holding inequality in place together.   

Why attend? 

• Unite behind a collective voice: Unite behind a shared voice alongside key policymakers, businesses, third sector leaders, young people and school and trust leaders so we can shape policy, shift national conversations, and challenge the assumptions that keep educational inequity in place

• Ignite collective strength: Impactful, connected member organisations are the foundation of our alliance. Equip your organisation to develop the leadership, connections and skills to collaborate and drive systems change.

• Be part of the collection action: Connect the dots across themes, and from Whitehall to the neighbourhoods where delivery happens, so we can build trust and understanding to enable meaningful collaboration and innovation.

Why now? 

At the heart of the Fair Education Alliance is the belief that lasting change comes from cross-sector collaboration, rooted in trusted relationships.

Our new strategy illustrates our commitment to doing together what no single organisation could achieve alone:

📉 Invest in the long-term: we are acting with urgency while building the foundations for long-term change together

🌍Take a systems change approach: the issues driving educational inequity are interconnected and complex. We look at the whole system and work to shift the conditions that keep these problems in place.  

📚 Engage in place-based transformation: by breaking down silos, building trust, and sharing understanding, we explore the local drivers of inequity, and mapping current initiatives, to identify gaps or overlaps

🚸Enable leadership by young people: we believe it is essential to involve and support the leadership of young people with lived experience of the barriers to education we are trying to dismantle

Our focus this year will be breaking down barriers across our entire community to ensure that together we grow our collective voice, deepen our collective action, and strengthen our collective capacity to lead systems change.
