Our new £1.6 Million Sixth Form Centre is now open and operational. This fantastic new facility offers our Sixth Form students their own bespoke area of the school. It comprises a spacious Common Room, a Café Dining area, Work spaces, a fully networked ICT Suite, Classroom space, a Seminar Room and a Board Room. The Sixth Form Centre is linked to the Lodge where there is a one stop shop for Careers advice and guidance and Examinations advice and guidance.

Forty five boys and four members of staff travelled to Symphony Hall to listen to a special Key Stage 3 Concert given by the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra.  The concert was hosted by Alastair Malloy, a professional percussionist and composer, who had arranged some music especially for this event. Alastair explained how the orchestra and western music has evolved throughout time, and how certain pieces are structured. This involved a fascinating performance of Beethoven’s famous Symphony No 5 clapped by the orchestra! We also heard the theme to Harry Potter, Angry Birds and Pharrell William’s song ‘Happy’. It was a fantastic experience and was enjoyed by all.

We continue to work with our Community partners on a number of levels and most recently HGS hosted 90 Year 5 Primary school students for some General Science lessons. The Grove School students enjoyed lessons delivered by Mr Mohsin and Ms Bilkhu on separating mixtures as part of their Science curriculum.
