Welcome
We are delighted to launch our new virtual offer to schools.
Birmingham Education Partnership (BEP) was founded in 2013 by Headteachers for the benefit of every child in Birmingham, in order to bring cohesive partnership working to its’ potentially disparate entire school community, for all children and young people. We have excellent relationships with maintained schools, academies, academy groups and independent schools. We work with all phases and providers of education and we aim to replicate our success with the corporate and health care sectors. Ten years on, we are enriching our provision by working with neighbouring authorities and beyond.

We are reaching further, promoting the brilliance of Birmingham beyond our boundaries, and scanning the horizon for nuggets and gems of excellence and innovation to return to our founder city. This September marks the threshold of a new beginning for BEP, as we are now empowered to deal directly with schools. As our Schools offer moves from strength to strength, we can now respond with more agility and neutrality to your needs, prioritising: • High quality • Value for money • Relevance

BEP are a ‘trusted partner’ to Birmingham schools. Therefore, we are not like any other School Improvement Company and we can be agile with our pricing due to our profit for purpose. All of our offers are predicated upon the fact that you need the best, and so we draw our capacity from a combination of experienced, trusted staff and consultants, allowing us to provide consistency, whilst also offering choice and specialism. Everything in this brochure is here by request. It has been a privilege to be an in- tegral part of Birmingham’s fabric for so long. We know this city, we know our craft, we have listened to you and we can continue to provide what you need. We invite you to be a part of BEP through our membership, training and CPD and other services. We would love to hear from you and look forward to working with you.
We remain at your service.

SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT SERVICES
BEP are specialists in School Improvement. Since our creation in 2013 by Headteachers, we have a proven track record in impact and sustainability, evidenced from the power of individual testimony to the external measure of the whole school system which has improved in its’ provision of good or outstanding schools from 77% in 2015 to almost 90% as of March 2024. The 6% gap to National as all but disappeared. Alongside this, 75% of our Keys to Success (KTS) schools that have been inspected in the last 3 months have achieved a good or better grade. Our results speak for themselves.

BIRMINGHAM ARTS SCHOOL
Birmingham Arts School (BAS) is a space to build crea- tive minds. By connecting schools to the Arts we allow chil- dren and young people to think, to imagine, to question and to enable everyone across the City to think about the world openly and explore it with a different mindset. BAS recognises that children and young people face inequalities across the City. We strive to connect them with first class Arts opportunities that not only enhance their learning and wellbeing but develop skills to support them in the future.

CAREERS
We are building a range of Careers offers based on the strength of our successful delivery of the Birmingham Careers Hub. The creation of these offers stem from recent market research and will be publicised in an individual complimentary brochure in the Autumn of 2024.
