Solihull College & University Centre 🎓 will be hosting some open events for school leavers 📅 next week. No need to pre-register.

Solihull Academy would like to say a massive thank you 🙏 to Pockets Snooker Club Kidderminster for supporting SA with your kind donation of Snooker 🎱 cues. Our students are very grateful 😊 and keen to improve their skills; we may have a professional in the making! 🌟

Last week, dental therapist, Leanne Lovell, visited Apollo to talk about the importance of keeping our teeth clean. For the children that wanted to, they were able to take a disclosing tablet that showed where their teeth needed an extra brushing! 🦷

On Monday, Apollo visitied Solihull on the bus after being invited to the Civic Suite to meet with the Mayor. We were shown around her office, where there are treasures from world leaders visits, and the chamber, where she presides over meetings. The children showed our PRIDE values throughout the visit, and were particularly inquisitive when finding out all about the Mayor's role. We also signed the Mayor's visitors book - the very first children from Apollo to sign!

🌟 Empowering the Next Generation through Capital Cultural Experience 🌟

Today I managed to set up a capital cultural experience with IM Properties Plc for students at SOLIHULL ACADEMY
Students from Solihull Academy were welcome to IM Properties Plc for an inspiring session aimed at helping them explore and refine their career choices.
During their visit, IM Properties Plc shared insights into the diverse opportunities within the automotive and property industries, They demonstrated how innovation drives progress, and encouraged students to think big about their potential paths. It was incredible to see their enthusiasm, curiosity, and drive to empower students.

By connecting with students at this pivotal stage of their lives, we aim to inspire confidence, provide guidance, and show how businesses like IM Properties Plc can open doors to exciting futures.

🙏 To the team IM Properties Plc Thank you for making this collaboration such a success. Together, we’re making a difference and looking forward to our working partnership.
