Had four fantastic meetings now: Pepita Hanna (Head of Arts Ed BCC), Alison Selvey (Selly Oak Cluster Co-ordinator), David Wort (Family Equip) and Lynette Bramble (Learning Mentor DECTC).

Meeting with Selly Oak extended schools co-ordinator went really well. It was more of an interview, I believe, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Jax Lovelock wrote a new blog post: Meeting Prep and Website Content

Don’t have very long as I’m preparing for my meeting with Pepita Hanna tomorrow. Want to plan exactly what I need to talk to her about as it would be simply rude not to. I also don’t want to muddy this contact as it was given to me by Jonathan Davidson of Midland Creative Projects, [...]

Jax Lovelock wrote a new blog post: Rearranging

After sheer exhaustion last week – balancing schools work, voluntary work, courses and being a new Mum -  I’m picking up and moving on again. So this week the meetings with Amy Martin (Bright Space) and Pepita Hanna (Arts Ed Director BCC) are scheduled. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, Amy is unable to meet so [...]
