Member Meetings & Working Groups Working Together

For over three decades, Titan has supported education across Birmingham by leading discussions, providing a space for collaboration, and collectively working together to drive positive change.

Our calendar of meetings, working groups, and spotlights ensures that our members feel supported, guided, and heard throughout the academic year. Our adaptability means that we flex with the needs of our members, our city, and education at a national level.

We also recognise the importance of creating solid and meaningful relationships, so we are introducing our larger cross-phase networking events and member socials, which will bring education together across Birmingham.

Top-level discussion and support for schools across our network. A collaborative, safe space for leaders to focus on the issues that matter. Meetings are held half-termly. Breakfast and refreshments are provided.

Bringing together deputy and assistant headteachers to support each other, create a space for networking and development, and play a key role in pushing forward network objectives.

This cross-phase meeting brings together schools, careers leads, FE, HE and businesses to ensure that we collectively support young people to find their futures. Meetings include the latest careers-focused updates, opportunities and guest speakers from careers education and business.

Bringing together SENDCo leads from across Primary and Secondary to share best practice and receive support, training and opportunities to continue supporting SEND young people. Titan also manages the SEND Developing Local Provision for the Aston & Nechells Consortium and works closely with other DLP projects across the city.

This working group brings together leaders in school and Titan’s initial teacher training experts to ensure that we continue to grow a teacher talent pipeline for our schools and create strategies for continued professional development to upskill and retain staff.

Join us for our focused Titan Spotlight meetings, which shine a light on a key area of education. These meetings provide our members with the latest updates, support, and information to make a difference to their schools, staff, and students. Spread across the academic year, there is something for everyone to get involved with. Delivered by experts with the opportunity to network and collaborate.

Bringing Birmingham Education Together Networking & Member Socials

Utilising our unique position as a cross-phase education network, we will bring together early years, primary and secondary schools, further education, and higher education to combat the issues affecting Birmingham’s education landscape. These networking events will also include influential figures from across various business sectors who want to work with education to enhance the life chances of our young people.

We wanted to find a way to bring together our community in a less formal setting and to allow leaders to network and build crucial connections, so throughout the academic year, a number of member socials will take place in venues across Birmingham.

Inspiring Students to Find Their Future Careers & Skills

Our Careers offer will support our member schools with their own careers activities, ensuring that we can utilise our connections to best support you.

Building on our careers and skills fairs, which put employers in front of young people, we will also support the connections between education and business through networking at a careers lead level and through careers talks and visits for students.

We know how important it is for young people to have access to, be inspired to start thinking about, their journey into the world of work. That’s why we will be hosting our Primary and Secondary Careers and Skills Fair, which will be jam-packed with employers, organisations, industry leads, FE Colleges, HE universities and apprenticeship providers  to help young people choose their path.

The Primary fair also has a transition element to support year six pupils with the move to Secondary school.

Bringing a careers event to your students at any time. Our informative, interactive and inspirational virtual careers fair allows young people to navigate through a virtual careers fair, discover industries, hear from real employers and gain valuable information on what is needed to take that first step on the career ladder. The latest legislation and career information are also available for career leads to use in school.

Working with our employer partners and careers organisations, we are able to offer a suite of employability, enterprise, careers, and skills opportunities for our young people to get involved with, be inspired by, and gain valuable skills that they can then use in school and beyond.

We know schools are keen to provide career enrichment opportunities for their students, both primary and secondary, so we will support schools by connecting with local and national employers, industry figures, and inspirational speakers to continue to inspire them and provide guidance and advice for their journeys.

For Careers Leads, we will use our already successful Careers and Skills Group to further connect with businesses and provide additional networking opportunities to help bring education and business closer together, providing that clear path from education to the world of work.

SEND Support

We understand the diverse needs of pupils with special educational requirements and are dedicated to providing comprehensive support tailored to the unique challenges faced by our schools. As part of our new expanded SEND offer, we will provide SEN resources, support, intervention, and supervision through our dedicated SENDCos.

We will also provide a suite of SEND training programmes, including Lego Therapy, Talk Boost (EY KS1 and KS2), Colourful Semantics, Attention Autism, and Zones of Regulations.

Titan manages the Aston & Nechells DLP project, and it’s from the lessons learned from this that we know we can provide a valuable and impactful SEND offer to our membership.

Raising Aspirations Through Sport Titan Aston Olympians

Our annual primary school sports event, now in its 19th year, brings together 500+ year 5 students from across our network of schools to take part in a variety of sports. The aim is to promote teamwork, resilience, and creativity. Students take part in water polo, dodge ball, football, basketball, and a gym challenge to win points and be awarded medals.

This year, we are also creating a specific day for SEND pupils, making the event more accessible and our biggest yet!

Rewarding & Recognising Success Titan Student Awards & Art Competitions

The importance of recognising and rewarding students who have made progress, made a difference, or overcome adversity has always been at the core of our network.

Our Titan All-Star Student Award celebrates a nominated student each month, providing them with a certificate of achievement and a £10 Amazon gift card.

Throughout the academic year, we ask students from across the network to get creative and take part in art-based competitions linked to key awareness days in schools to win gift cards and certificates of participation.

Celebrating our Network Titan Awards & Charity Dinner

At the end of each academic year, we bring together our members and partners for a night of celebration, recognising our achievements as a network and awarding those staff and students who have made a difference throughout the year.

With a three-course meal, entertainment, and a plethora of student and staff awards, this night is one not to be missed. We will make 2025 our biggest event yet.

Raising Money for our Community Fundraising

As a charity, we will continue to raise money for our network to continue offering free or discounted opportunities, events and activities for our members. Following raising over £90,000 to tackle tech poverty by supporting schools and young people with devices, we aim to raise as much money as possible to help our schools with their priorities and needs.

During the academic year, we invite you to participate in our fundraising initiatives, events, and challenges to raise awareness, raise money, and make a difference.

Thanking Teachers Member Rewards Card

We wanted to find a way to thank all the inspirational and dedicated educators and support staff across our network, so we have partnered with 2,086 organisations, businesses and initiatives across Birmingham to offer discounts and perks just for you. As part of your membership, you will receive 1 free card for the academic year with the option to purchase discounted cards for £10 each. A great way to say thank you to your staff!

Showcase Your Community Talk Education Podcast

We invite you to showcase your school, be part of a panel discussion or share your education expertise or experiences on the Titan Talks Podcast, giving an authentic voice for education across Birmingham. Listen live on the radio or download for a time that suits you.

Your Talent Pipeline Titan Teacher Training

At Titan Teacher Training, our mission is to equip and empower aspiring teachers with the knowledge, skills, and resilience to excel in the dynamic world of teaching. We do this through our supportive, school-led, and successful teacher training programme, which works with primary and secondary schools across Birmingham and is in partnership with Teach First.

Become a Titan ITT partner school by hosting a trainee and helping us create the next generation of outstanding teachers.

The Assessment Only (AO) route, in partnership with Arthur Terry Teaching School Hub, provides a pathway for those who have considerable experience of working in schools but who do not possess Qualified Teacher Status (QTS). If you have unqualified teaching staff, paid or unpaid, who you would like to get qualified, this is the route for you, and Titan members get a 10% discount on fees. Candidates will have a maximum of 12 weeks to complete the assessment. This route is therefore only appropriate for candidates who already have evidence proving they meet the Teachers’ Standards.

The AO route is not suitable for candidates who would require more training.

Titan Members receive a 10% discount on fees.

Staying Connected Member Portal & Update

We are constantly evolving how we communicate with our membership and share information and vital documents, so we are delighted to announce the launch of the Titan Member Portal, powered by Governor Hub.

The portal will host all meeting and working group files and information, and members will also be able to integrate our activity calendar into their own but only show the meetings or working groups they have opted to participate in, ensuring you never miss a Titan opportunity and always have the information you need.

Our weekly member update provides our membership with relevant member updates, education news, opportunities, events and a space to celebrate our members.
