Hello and Welcome to Black Country Children's Services Improvement Partnership Website.

This site is designed to be:-

an important source of information to support school improvement;
an effective and easy means of booking courses and conferences;
a showcase for successful practice;
the vital communications strand for sharing news throughout the Partnership

The Offer in context:

BCCSIP was formed in 2000 as a DFE pilot, thereafter becoming owned and funded as a non profit organisation through our partners. Having worked as a successful partnership now for a decade, BCCSIP has an excellent track record of delivering high quality projects and services to schools. BCCSIP has also built a network of quality assured, accredited, individual associates and education organisations to provide capacity and bespoke support for individual schools, groups of schools and our partner local authorities.

Recent changes to Government signal a changing role for schools and local authorities with schools getting increased autonomy and resources. With the expectation that they are best placed to identify funding allocation in line with their needs and priorities. With extensive experience of brokering and commissioning for various clients and partners, in addition to designing a range of school improvement solutions, BCCSIP is in a unique position to respond to these policy changes through the provision of the BCCSIP "Offer" – click here for more

Creative Solutions Offer:

BCCSIP has successfully managed the Black Country Creative Partnerships programme for five years and has embedded this work as a key tool for school improvement.

The impact in schools has been significant and a wealth of expertise and resources has been brought together to continue to support schools in the future. Through the Creative Partnerships programme, schools have invested significantly in creative teaching and learning and for many schools this is now integral to how they work, rather than simply part of an 'add on' project.

Although the Creative Partnerships programme will cease at the end of this academic year, this offer allows schools to access the same level of professional development services, consultancy support and access to high quality practitioners.
