Katie Cavill
Managing Director
After almost 17 years in the education sector, I founded The Learning Line to do what I'm most passionate about - connecting world-leading educationalists with schools across the country. Having been privileged to work with some of the most interesting, influential, and innovative authors, speakers and presenters from around the world, I realised I could leverage these relationships and my deep industry knowledge to create something truly impactful.
The Learning Line was borne from my mission to facilitate schools' access to cutting-edge educational expertise. I transform academic research into practical CPD programmes, keynotes, and professional learning opportunities that drive real improvements in teaching and learning. My role involves working closely with high-profile speakers to develop their research into tangible programmes, then managing the complex relationships between these experts and educational organisations including Multi-Academy Trusts, Local Authorities, Learning Partnerships, and individual schools.
What sets The Learning Line apart is my unique position directly managing the diaries of some of the world's leading educationalists, including Mary Myatt, Amjad Ali, David Didiau and many others. This gives me instant access to availability and direct pricing, allowing me to offer unparalleled service to schools seeking world-class professional development.
Starting my own business has been a dream realised, and the overwhelming support from both the presenters I've worked with over the years and the enthusiastic response from clients has exceeded all my expectations. I'm harnessing nearly two decades of experience to focus on what I know I do better than anybody - building meaningful relationships and creating transformative learning experiences that genuinely improve education.
