Alumni

At King Edward VI Handsworth Grammar School, we believe that being part of HGS doesn’t end when you leave our gates. Our alumni remain an important part of our community, and we are proud of everything our former students go on to achieve.

Whether you left last year or many decades ago, you will always be part of the HGS family.

Our former students are living proof of the many different paths that begin at Handsworth Grammar School. From apprenticeships and universities to careers in business, healthcare, engineering, education, the arts, the armed forces and public service, every journey has the power to inspire the next generation of HGS students.

Join Our Alumni Community

We are delighted to have partnered with Future First, the UK’s leading education charity for school alumni networks.

Our new alumni platform makes it easy to reconnect with former classmates, keep up to date with life at HGS and, if you wish, support current students by sharing your experiences and career journey.

Whether you have five minutes to answer a student’s question online or would like to become more involved in school life, there are opportunities to contribute in a way that suits you.

Inspire the Next Generation

One of the most valuable things our students can hear is the story of someone who once sat where they sit today.

We are always looking to welcome former students back to school to:

• Deliver a talk to our students, sharing your career journey, experiences or advice with current students.
• Speak about university, degree apprenticeships or the world of work.
• Support careers events and networking opportunities.
• Take part in mock interviews.
• Mentor students considering similar career pathways.
• Reconnect with the school and see how HGS has evolved.

If one of your former teachers is still at HGS, we would be delighted to arrange time for you to catch up during your visit.

Stay Connected

By joining our Future First alumni network, you’ll receive news from the school, invitations to alumni events and opportunities to support the next generation of HGS students.

Together, we can ensure that today’s students benefit from the experiences of those who have gone before them, strengthening the HGS community for generations to come.
