As part of the School’s University application process, all of our Year 12 students recently visited the University of Birmingham.

The students enjoyed a bespoke programme which included a talk on entry to University and the whole application process, and then met a number of current students from the University for an excellent question and answer session. Our visit also coincided with the University’s Graduation day, so there was the chance for our students to see proud young graduates and their families as they received their degrees.

Year 12 students recently visited Aston University for the Higher Education Convention 2013.
Every university in the country is represented at this convention and our students were able to speak to representatives from the universities, to help them decide upon their future careers. Students were also able to meet representatives from major companies such as Rolls Royce, Deloitte, and British Petroleum.
This visit is an important part of our School’s University application process, as virtually every one of our 6th Form students chooses to go on to University after Handsworth Grammar school.

Following a rigorous application and interview process we are very pleased to announce the following appointments for 2013 – 2014:

Head Boy – Haroon Gulfraz

Head Girl – Catherine Munyarari

Deputy Head Boy – Ethan Griffiths

Deputy Head Girl – Sharaye Campbell

Our role was to help with the Handsworth Association of Schools Primary Athletics Festival as Young Leaders. We arrived early on a hot sunny day and had half an hour to set up the Javelin and Long Jump events. Over 10 Schools took part and the Students involved were from Years 4, 5 and 6. It was a good day out for our Athletics team and it was good to see how enthusiastic the younger Students were about Athletics.”
