Our next event kicks off on 5 November 2025
Ready2Lead? is the first leadership conference in Bedford Borough designed for Year 12 students.
The aim of Ready2Lead? is to bring out the inner leader in everyone through inspiring speakers, practical workshops and encouraging individual initiative.
We are passionate about helping any student who wants to grow and develop themself and who is keen to learn how to make a difference to others. There is, therefore, no academic level, background, course or personality type that is required. All you need is the enthusiasm to take part!
The conference is free of charge to delegates, making Ready2Lead? accessible to absolutely anyone in Y12.
Our firm belief is that we need to start with self-leadership. As we begin to understand our values and live them out with courage and passion, we will make an impact that will cause others to follow our lead. In other words, the most powerful leader you can be is when you fully embrace the power of being you.
Ready2Lead? aims to bring out the inner leader in everyone.
It was lovely to get to know new people. It definitely was a step out of my comfort zone but it has helped with my confidence in speaking to new people.
I really enjoyed the talks. They gave me so many ideas and knowledge about the impact of change. They supported me and made me feel like we were not left alone.
Having speakers who were a similar age group is really helpful as its easier to relate to the project brief.
I really liked mixing with different schools. The networking opportunities were great!
Ready2Lead? showed me that I can make my own unique impact on the world. It taught me more about what it means to lead myself
The speakers were very interesting and the whole event was engaging and informative
