English Department Showcase

As an English Team, we often come across pieces of work which are carefully crafted and written with flair. We would like to showcase the creative brilliance of one of our year 8 students, Ehan Taseen, who has written an excellent letter in which he responds to the statements made by the former Prime Minister, John Major, about the homeless.

Although we have many pieces of work we would like to share, we think that this particular example demonstrates empathy, sensitivity and the originality required for the very best pieces of work.

We hope you enjoy viewing Ehan’s work. Please follow this link to read Ehan’s writing. We’re very proud of his talents!

Fundraising for Woodland House

This year we are fundraising for local NHS charities. Woodland House is part of the Birmingham Women’s Hospital Charity as well as the Birmingham Children’s Hospital Charity. Please see the BWH Presentation below for more details and information. As a Birmingham school it is important and right that we raise awareness and funds for such vitally important local projects associated with our local Hospitals and NHS Trust. Please do all you can to support Woodland House through events such as the Annual Year 7 Sponsored Walk and our various forthcoming non-uniform days.

Be a force for good and positive action.

Thank you for your support.
