Curriculum, careers and character.
Hello. If you’re on half term - have a great one.
If not, I hope you have productive final week.
Here are this week’s highlights from inside the We Are In Beta community.
I’m off to enjoy my daughter’s second birthday 🥳
We - schools - Are In Beta - always learning (when we recharge over half term and enjoy family time).
This week

👩🏽💼Curriculum, careers and character: how to establish and roll out a multi year corporate partnership with a global brand (for free).
Developing sustainable and impactful relationships with businesses in your community (and beyond) to bring the curriculum to life, is hard.
Geographical isolation of your school, small networks, decreasing budgets and the sheer volume of work it takes to build relationships make it even tougher.
Once you do find people to work with, the quality of their delivery, the depth of their investment and practical considerations of scaling a programme throughout the whole school can make or break the success of a programme.
Join us to hear how Georgie Charles and Natalie Dormer established and rolled out a multi-year partnership with a global brand that would have cost thousands of pounds.
They’ll be giving their entire playbook - processes, templates, scripts, packs, etc - (which they’ve spent 4 years writing) to everyone who comes along.
📅 Mon 20th Feb
🕓 18:00 - 19:15
