Bishop Vesey’s Grammar School is an Ofsted Outstanding school with rich heritage dating back almost 500 years. We nurture young people from all backgrounds to excel both academically and personally, helping them to become well-rounded highly employable people, with the ability to adapt to what seems to be an ever-changing economic landscape.

Our successful Corporate Partnership programme has been in place now for 7 years and the main purpose behind the partnership is to enable our partners to join us creating one truly outstanding school community in a mutually beneficial and meaningful way.

Membership of the programme enables our partners to raise their profile amongst our community of parents, future parents, alumni, donors, suppliers, other partners and the wider community which we are targeting through our outreach programme. It also enables partners to work closely with us and our students, helping to shape a programme of education that truly prepares students for a successful future.

There are of course many direct benefits to being a partner of the school including;

• Your brands logo on our website.
• Social Media Coverage and mentions in the Headteachers Newsletter
• Personalised networking opportunities and referrals
• Discounts on school organised events including Dinners, Lunches and Sporting Events

A partnership with the school many mean many different things and there is no “one size fits all”.

However we are not naive and we know that every company wants to ensure that Return on Investment (ROI) is high up on the list when it comes to demonstrating and reporting the impact of any Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Agenda.

So a truly mutually beneficial partnership needs to measure impact in a meaningful way: This may include:

• Working closely with students over the long term, in order to talent spot and offer bespoke work placements and coaching for graduate schemes.
• Be involved in shaping education to ensure that students not only excel academically but are also truly employable.
• This may include contributing to and enriching the curriculum by giving talks to students or working with them on specific projects, developing long-term relationships with them, the school and its community, developing the leaders of tomorrow.
• Involve young minds and fresh talent in the development of your business.
• Raise your company’s profile and brand awareness – especially with high achieving young people and their families across a large geographical area in the Midlands.
• The association of your brand with an outstanding school with a strong heritage, excellent reputation and an exciting future will also provide benefits.
• The integration of investment in young people , education and innovation into your CSR Agenda
