Sign up to host speakers

If you are a state-maintained secondary school, college, or academy in the UK with students aged 11 to 19, you are eligible to register to host speakers in person at your location and receive virtual talk opportunities through our Speakers for Schools programme. While we welcome all institutions, please note that our charity prioritises schools and colleges with high levels of need.

Your application stays with us year on year, so we can help provide free speakers and signpost our online talks that are part of the programme. It’s also worth knowing we are not a speaker bureau or request service, but a national network giving your students access to influential people and career talks to help raise aspirations.
