UP to 300 children from secondary schools throughout Bolton will take part in a unique conference at the Reebok Stadium.

Funded by the National College for School Leadership, the conference is intended to encourage the children to become leaders.

Pupils will be running the conference on Saturday, June 26, and will be discussing education issues and taking part in creative workshops, including street dance, holistic health, improving your school council and establishing successful youth clubs.

There will be a session during the day where they will be encouraged to look at the way they learn.

The conference will be hosted by children's TV presenter Eve Threlkland.
