Smart Learning

Dan Conley has 20 years of experience in the education sector as a teacher and school leader. His academic foundation in learning, cognition, and development has underpinned a career focused on removing barriers to achievement and empowering students to excel.

He has developed initiatives to promote STEM engagement, led a successful Psychology department and applied the principles of Cognitive Neuroscience to establish In-School Alternative Provisions that enable marginalised students to thrive. He is currently in partnership with organisations such as Impetus, The Difference and Whole Education to raise awareness of Lost Learning in all its forms.

Smart Learning School was developed as a response to a growing crisis: increasing numbers of young people struggling with mental health challenges, exam anxiety, and the lack of explicit teaching on how to learn effectively. Many students know what they need to learn but are not equipped with the strategies that show them how.

The vision for Smart Learning School is simple: to apply cutting-edge psychological principles to create a smarter, more inclusive educational experience for everyone.
