Celebrating staff and students from across the Titan network
Since 2014 Titan has held an annual charity dinner as a means of celebrating the achievements of our network. This event has provided an opportunity to highlight the benefit and impact of our membership and showcase the partnerships that support our work, all whilst raising funds for additional student activities.
Last year, more than 180 leaders, senior leaders, teachers, support staff and key stakeholders from across the education sector in Birmingham attended this special event at Conference Aston. Fourteen awards were presented, and over £1,000 was raised for student activities.
