The DT Department entered a national competition called The Ripple Effect which was sponsored by Misco, HP and Intel. Our entry was based upon the move across to new GCSE and A Level courses in product design as well as the major developments that have taken place in the department over the past 6 months. Two fully refurbished and redesigned laboratories have been created upstairs which will have a significant impact upon teaching and learning.

The department has won an HP STEM & Creative Learning Studio which is worth over £20,000. Congratulations.

The Year 7 Football team got off to a great start to the new season with a 6 – 1 win against Hamstead Hall in the Aston Cup. Congratulations to the boys and to Mr Gallagher in their first match at HGS.

Please see the certificate below in recognition of the work we are doing with the University of Birmingham.

Year 13 students from HGS were invited to attend the Saragarhi Memorial at the National Arboretum on Tuesday 12th September.

The memorial commemorated the Battle of Saragarhi in India in 1897 when 21 Sikh soldiers fell after fighting against ten thousand Pathans.

The memorial ceremony coincided with the launch of a new documentary about Saragarhi made by ex HGS student Jay Singh Sohal.

Our students also heard presentations from the British Army Sikh Association, and were wonderfully received by the organisers of the memorial.
