Busy few days with more of the same next week! Wouldn't have it any other way.

Yesterday, Year 9 students attended the University of Wolverhampton for the culmination of their Oracy programme. Students desgined and marketed a library which they then presented to their peers. Excellent work from some really excellent students.

Today, students from Year 10 received their results from The Brilliant Club programme. Students have been studying the topic of future vaccines. I am delighted to say that 12 out of 14 students achieved a 1st with nobody achieving lower than a 2:1. Incredible ambition from all involved. Looking forward to their graduation at The University of Manchester.

Finally, to wrap up the day, Girton College University of Cambridge visited more of our Year 10 students to inform them of all the particulars around university, planting the seed that Oxbridge universities can be for anyone regardless of background. Thank you to Q3 Academy Great Barr for bringing along some of their students.

Thank you to everybody who donated to our Easter Egg appeal in aid of Midlands Metropolitan University Hospital as well as other local institutions supporting young people in need. We collected a grand total of 311 eggs! For the second year in a row, we are the top donators almost tripling the next nearest amount of donations.

Your incredible kindness will put smiles on the faces of other young people throughout the West Midlands.

Have a wonderful Easter break!

Thank you to Young Driver for once again offering students in Years 7-12 the opportunity to get behind the wheel.

This is the first of two chances this year, so if you would like to be in with a chance of securing yourself a lesson make sure you are in school as much as possible while amassing plenty of positive points in your lessons!

Perfect opportunity for Year 11 leavers -- and those who are considering a civil engineering apprenticeship in the future with a very local company!

This morning, Year 9 students had the opportunity to attend a mock interview with volunteers from businesses throughout the region. Such organisations included Doocey, Tipton & Coseley Building Society, West Midlands Police, Serco, Vinci Construction, HSBC, HMRC, the West Brom Building Society, NHS, Unity Trust Bank, Aspire to HE and more! Over 35 volunteers engaged with students making the day an overwhelming success.

Huge thank you to all of our business partners -- especially our alumni -- who graciously offered their time to support students in gaining invaluable interview experience.
