We are in the process of establishing a student Equality and Diversity committee. This will build on the work that we have contributed to across the Academy Trust and Foundation. The focus will be on promoting and developing equality and diversity in terms of the curriculum and the pastoral system and will work along side the School Council. We aim to meet this term to develop and plan for a whole school launch in September.

Following the various House Sports and DT competitions which took place on June 23^rd, we have an update on the House Trophy scores.

The competition results have been added to the conduct points and so, with one Enrichment day left, the scores are as follows:

1^st  Nelson House – 16, 499

2^nd Alfred House – 16, 115

3^rd Galahad House – 15,111

4^th William House – 14, 756

5^th Henry House – 13, 981

This means that Galahad’s dominance over the last few years could be coming to an end? However, there is lots to play for as we enter the last two weeks of term.

On Thursday 17^th June, the Year 7 and Year 8 Athletics team competed in the school’s first Athletics fixture for almost two years. Athletes competed in a range of track and field events at the Minor Foundation match, hosted by King Edward School, Birmingham. The stand out performers in the Year 7 team were David Akanihu (7 Nelson) who finished 1^st in three events (300m, Hurdles and Long Jump) and Litem-Roy Mcintyre-Smith (7 Henry), who claimed 1^st place in both the 100m and 200m. The Year 7 4 x 100m Relay produced the best race of the evening with King Edward VI Handsworth Boys taking home the gold medal in the final leg ahead of King Edward VI Five Ways, winning in an impressive time! In the Year 8 Team, Michael Ogunlola (8 Henry) picked up a respectable 3^rd place in the 800m.

Congratulations to all the boys who competed.
