Teaching School Alliances
The speed dating opened my eyes to the number of businesses and new, innovative computer packages that have been designed to assist in a wide range of teaching areas. The session was an ideal way to find out what was new in the marketplace with a concise and informative pitch from the company representatives.

The speed date went really well. The 42 headteachers in attendance were captivated by what was on offer and the whole day was a great success. Innovate My School listened to our needs and showcased what we were looking for. Very worthwhile for all involved.

The group loved it! We had a brief discussion after the speed date and everyone enjoyed it. Most School Business Managers don't attend exhibitions as they're too far and are very overwhelmed when they go, so this was ideal.
