in the last issue of The Bridge there was an empty framework of a building next to our school. i am pleased to report that this empty framework has now evolved into a sixth form centre. available for students to use earlier this year the sixth form centre was officially opened on May 21st by Lord digby. as a student who has had the opportunity to be using it for a few months it has been really great for sixth formers to have their own space. we are no longer tormented by rogue year elevens and no longer have a five minute walk to get out of the building. To have access to such new and state of the art facilities has been a real treat and has proved an excellent way to increase my revision and work load. it was just a shame that Ms Miles wasnt here to wear a hat and cut the ribbon Pip Turner The sixth Form Centre has undoubtedly been a highly anticipated and greatly appreciated addition to Handsworth grammar school and has added to the eclectic mix of architectural styles that make our school so unique we as sixth form students have benefited to quite a great extent from the sixth Form Centre as it has offered a learning space suited to our needs and this has nurtured our learning experience at an incredibly important time giving us the facilities needed to study for our a Levels as well as a place to interact with our friends and teachers. at the same time however its seamless integration with the main body of the school means that were still an integral part of the amazing Hgs community to which weve grown accustomed never too far away from the help of teachers. in my opinion the addition of the sixth Form Centre symbolises the ethos of the school we are grounded in history but constantly looking to the future to develop and improve in order to equip students with the skills needed for our competitive age. My only regret is that we couldnt have enjoyed it for longer Gurdeep Mall The new sixth Form Centre is an amazing addition to our already outstanding school and one that we have waited a long time for but finally received like a gift to treasure in our last year here in Hgs. it gives students a place to sit and work in peace in our study periods and other free time and allows us to have something we can call ours in which we are able to work and have fun. This new area is a big step up from the old sixth form area and is a great addition to our school. Aniel Sunder The convenience of having an independent facility to work in is immeasurable. it teams together a neat blend of a calm working environment and an inviting study area a very helpful option to have at such a critical academic juncture. Ammandev Bajwa The new sixth Form Centre has definitely had a positive impact upon the sixth form students. The students have a great atmosphere in which they can optimise their learning via the easily accessible facilities the sixth form centre offers. it is a great addition to the school as it gives sixth form students a mature working place so that they can concentrate on their exams. Martin Nguyen Moving into the new sixth Form Centre was like moving into a new house. it is amazing how much the new building has increased the productivity of all the sixth formers. The quiet working atmosphere really gives the place a uni feel. all of us collaboratively work to preserve the 1.6 million pound facility by treating it as we would our own homes we wouldnt put our feet on the tables in our houses so we dont here. Overall this has been a great addition to the school to better facilitate its ambassadors. James Callum The new sixth Form Centre is a great asset to facilitate our learning. it provides a mature environment in which students can work and a sense of independence.
