Couch to 5K graduation
A group of Year 7 and 8 students, led by Mrs Bryant, have been out running after school for the last 10 weeks, completing the Couch to 5K programme. On Saturday, with the encouragement of staff and parents, they took part in the Edgbaston Reservoir Parkrun to mark their graduation. On display were both speedy times and high levels of resilience, and it was fantastic to see the camaraderie and support among the group. Congratulations to all involved and thank you to all the staff members who have supported over the weeks.

On Wednesday 26 March, 50 Year 10 and 9 Art students visited both Tate Modern and Victoria & Albert Museum in London.
From Bankside students walked along and across the Thames then travelled via the underground to South Kensington. Art students conducted themselves in a mature manner during the excursion.
Students enjoyed seeing a diverse range of work from international pioneering contemporary pieces of the recently expanded Tate, through to the Raphaels and Gainsborough at the V&A, providing a great deal of inspiration for their own studies. The students even got to see Big Ben, London Eye, St Paul’s Cathedral and Westminster Abbey along the way.
A huge thank you goes to Mr Finch, Mrs Evans, Ms Kearns and Mrs Narrowmore for all their help and support to make such an inspiring day possible.
