Welcome
We are delighted to launch our new 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.
Juliet Silverton
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.

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.

LITE SENIOR MENTAL HEALTH LEAD TRAINING This training is not a substitute for the more in-depth Senior Mental Health Leads training. Delivered by the same team that lead our DfE authorised Senior Mental Health Lead training, this session is ideal for those who are relatively new to supporting mental health provision in your setting or part of the wider Mental Health team in school. Alternatively where trained staff have moved on, this is an ideal CPD for staff new to role, where your school is not eligible for, or has already had a grant from the DfE. Audience: Senior Mental Health Leads | All Phases Date: 23rd Oct 2024 or 26th Mar 2025 Venue: In-person
I found this to be an enjoyable and engaging course. The trainers were so friendly, knowledgable and informative. The opportunity for discussion and collaboration and sharing of ideas with colleagues was so valuable. I left with so many practical take-aways. I feel really supported and confident going back into school to do my role. FOUNDATION SENIOR MENTAL HEALTH LEAD TRAINING
