Barker is proud to be headline sponsor of the ASCL Sustainability Conference 2026, held at Birmingham City Football Club. The event supports school, college and trust leaders as they respond to DfE requirements for Sustainability Leads and Climate Action Plans.
Now in its third year and coinciding with World Environment Day, the conference focuses on practical guidance and inspiration for building long‑term sustainable culture in education.
Matt Isherwood, Associate Partner, Barker will also deliver a session on “Why Sustainability and Estate Strategies Work Better Together.” Sustainability ambitions fall flat without an estate strategy to match. This fast‑paced session will show how aligning the two unlocks smarter investment, lower costs, and real carbon reduction where it counts. With sharp, real‑world insight from Chris Berry, COO at Windsor Academy Trust, attendees will leave with clarity, confidence, and a roadmap to lead meaningful change.
We look forward to connecting with delegates and supporting the sector on its sustainability journey.
