Hopwood Hall School

Last week, as part of the School's ongoing exploration of Birmingham's Heritage, some of our pupils visited the Birmingham Through Time exhibition at the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery.

Two weeks' ago, as part of our School's ongoing Shakespeare programme, some of our pupils and teachers enjoyed a lovely day exploring back stage at the Royal Shakespeare and Swan Theatres. At the end of the tour our young people were complemented by the RST guides on their pertinent questions, eloquent answers and overall absorbed engagement in the tour.

Some of our pupils joined forces with residents and staff at Cofton Park Manor care home this morning to raise money for the MacMillan Cancer charity. It was a wonderful mixture of music, art, tea and cakes. Thank you Cofton Park Manor family for making us feel so welcome. We're looking forward to joining you in December for Christmas Carols and ballet.

Henley in Arden revisited this week but this time with some of our KS3 pupils.

Deliciously healthy stir fries rustled up by some of our pupils in Preparation for Adulthood this week.

A fabulous enrichment day, despite the heat, with some of our KS4 pupils exploring historic Henley in Arden. A visit to the famous Henley ice cream parlour was a definite win!

The most delicious chocolate chip muffins were made the other day. So much so that this is all that there was left to show for it.

Some members of our KS3 Team Shakespeare analysing plot, character, language and imagery in A Midsummer Night's Dream.

Some of our GCSE Photography and Art pupils visited the Herbert Art Gallery and Museum to experience the After the End of History: British Working Class Photography 1989 - 2024. They would definitely recommend this exhibition.

Some of our pupils watching a special documentary about D Day followed by a whole school Q & A with Steve our resident historian yesterday.

This week's cooking skills group making pasta salad.

A quick trip to the Vets this morning for Rex's eye treatment. He's doing amazingly well for a 14 year old rabbit.
