Safeguarding and Boarding Conference 2026

Last week, we were proud to host our Safeguarding and Boarding Conference here at Harrow Appi Japan – and what a remarkable event it was!

Over Sunday and Monday, we welcomed delegates from over 15 schools across Japan, Asia and the UK, alongside 17 members of our own staff and over 15 of our students, who played a wonderful role in showcasing the very best of boarding life at Harrow Appi Japan.

Two days of expert-led sessions, shared best practice and meaningful conversation — all centred on how we best protect and nurture our students in an ever-changing world. It was an honour to open our doors, share what we do, and in turn gain such exciting and valuable insights from colleagues across Asia and beyond.

To every delegate who made the journey to the mountains of Iwate — thank you. We are already looking forward to seeing you again.
