Cancelled Music Events
Collaboration Concert
Tuesday 24th March 2020
Unfortunately, we are cancelling this concert.
Instrumental Progress Evening 19th March 2020
This evening event has been cancelled. However, we would like those performers who are in on Thursday 19th March to attend their rehearsal (as per the schedule), to rehearse, then perform to Mr. Ward. They will then return to their lessons. Students will not be kept after school.
We recognize that students have spent a long time preparing and we would like to give them this opportunity to perform even if it is not with a large audience.
Leading Edge Network
King Edward VI Handsworth Grammar School has once again met the criteria required to be part of the Leading Edge Network – the only national network exclusively for high-performing schools.
SSAT network is the most vibrant and longest-standing network of schools in the UK. It provides a platform for collaborating and establishing relationships with other schools to share best practices and resources. It offers insight and understanding into school practice and educational policy and research through their professional development and school improvement programmes.

Congratulations!
Rolls Royce Apprenticeship
Our congratulations to Dalip Johal in Year 13 who has been offered an apprenticeship with Rolls Royce (Control Systems).
This is a huge achievement given that the company offer about 200 apprenticeships nationally, but have over 35,000 applications for their prestigious company.
Dalip has been very committed to this ambition, and spent half-term on work experience with the company. He has been very determined since last year to try and secure an apprenticeship with Rolls Royce.
It is a real achievement to secure this apprenticeship, and Rolls Royce will now train him, and pay for him to study at university while he works for them.
It is a good reminder for our students that not everyone has to just go straight to university in the conventional way.
Congratulations!
