Last week, Miss Watkins accompanied 12 Year 7 girls to the Alexander Stadium for the ‘Girls of Brum’ event, where they enjoyed an exciting range of activities. From headband and smoothie making to darts, dance, rugby, kabaddi, shooting, and much more, there was something for everyone to try. It was a fantastic day filled with fun, new experiences, and plenty of smiles!

Dear Parents/Guardians. As the Year 11 students continue their final full week of exams there will be certain days when some students will be allowed to leave the academy to go home earlier than usual. Today as you know students not doing History are leaving at 2pm

Today is World Environment Day - a reminder of why we need to protect our natural world. Nature is the backbone of life on our planet. The WWF website is full of fun facts, puzzles and things to do - why not have a look?
