Welcome from the Specialist Schools and Academies Trust
Emma Sims

Emma Sims I am thrilled to welcome you all to the first online conference for students, organised by iNet – the international arm of the Specialist Schools and Academies Trust. This conference is the first in a planned series of five. It has been designed with students, and all the papers you read, the presentations you see, the contributions you read and all the questions asked, will be by students.

Welcome from students

(Audio welcome)

Welcome one and all to the first-ever student online conference, and what a conference this is going to be!

Some of you might be reading this from simply saying ‘Yes’ to be signed up this conference, and you might be thinking ‘What is this all about?’ Whatever you feel, please take this online opportunity to engage, network, and challenge each other’s opinions in this conference.

I really would encourage all of you to take a real look at the papers written by students on the website.
