Ideas worth sharing

Central to the activity of Aimhigher is ensuring that ideas and practices, developed in schools and colleges, can be shared among partners within the Birmingham and Solihull Area. In this way we can learn from each other and more effectively serve students within our target groups.

The following ideas are offered on the understanding that they may well need to be adapted to the particular situation of individual schools.

If you would like to discuss any of the details further, please do not hesitate to get in touch with Terry Johnson, the Aimhigher Administrator on 0121 303 1139.

New submissions and ideas are welcome and these should be forwarded to the Aimhigher Co-ordinator.
