Dr Felderhof of SACRE (Standing Council for Religious Education) recently visited Handsworth Grammar School as part of the process of auditing current Religious Education and Collective Worship provision across all Birmingham Schools. Dr Felderhof attended a Year 8 Assembly, observed a Year 9 lesson and had a detailed meeting with Mr Bird and Mrs Donoghue. The feedback received which will form part of a wider report across the whole of Birmingham schools was very positive indeed. It detailed that Handsworth Grammar School provides excellent provision in all areas relating to Religious Education and Collective Worship. It stated that there is a hardworking and inclusive atmosphere in HGS which sought to ensure that all students were stretched and performed at their best as well as there being excellent pastoral support and a good emphasis on the Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural development of the students. The lesson observed was graded as Outstanding.

This is a an excellent reflection on the hard work and commitment of all our staff to ensure that all our students are well educated, tolerant, compassionate and well-rounded young people who are a force for good in the community.
