Festival of Metacognition

Our Festival of Metacognition draws together those with a shared passion for developing metacognitive, self-regulating learners.  It provides the best insights into developing metacognition and self regulated learning and offers the invaluable opportunity to explore the latest and best practice in successfully developing metacognition in your school.  Hear from experts, talk to leaders and teachers from Thinking Schools and share experiences regarding any area of metacognition, all in one place!

Our Festival Theme for 2026 is 'Pure Practical - Sharing best practice in Metacognition and Self-Regulation'.  This year we are leaving the researchers and theorists at home. So no key notes - just short, impactful inputs from school leaders and teachers who develop metacognitive, self-regulating learners every day in their own classrooms across the Thinking School Network.
