“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world” – Nelson Mandela. Birmingham Education Partnership (BEP) may not currently have the reach to change the world, but we are inspired to touch the life of every child in Birmingham. As a collective voice for the city of Birmingham schools, our goal is to actively secure a deeply good academic, social and civic education for every child and young person living within our city. As the first of its kind within Birmingham, BEP has established strong networks with key entities around the city, and together we are eagerly committed to ensuring Birmingham’s children and young people receive the qualifications and skills they need to become active, contributing and positive citizens. Our school improvement initiatives have proven to have an identifiably positive impact on some of our most vulnerable schools, with the number of children attending Good and Outstanding schools increasing annually. As an organisation we support inclusion, connectivity and a sense of responsibility to all of our schools. We work to ensure that no school or child is ever left behind.
