At the beginning of the month 29 students (aged 13-16) went on a trip to Seville.   Seville is a beautiful city in the Andalusia region of Spain where there are hundreds of iconic monuments within walking distance of each other.

A group of GCSE and A-level Textiles students from South Bromsgrove High School recently paid a visit to fitness clothing manufacturer, Gymshark. The business was founded by ex-South Bromsgrove student, Ben Francis, in 2012 when he was just 19. The company has seen extraordinary growth; from humble beginnings in Ben's parents’ garage in Bromsgrove, to becoming the fastest growing company in the UK. The students had Ben as their personal tour guide for the afternoon as they visited Gymshark's brand new Headquarters in Solihull. The students were blown away by the dynamic working environment and the amazing facilities enjoyed by the employees, including games areas, outdoor basketball, meeting pods and a massage and therapy centre. Textiles teacher and visit leader, Jenny Hawthorn said, 'The students really enjoyed the experience and were able to see, first-hand the entire design process and see how the gym wear is created'.

The English department recently took 50 year 11 students to see Poetry Live at the Symphony Hall in Birmingham.  The students have been studying several leading poets over this year and it was a fantastic experience and opportunity not only to see these poets perform and talk about their poetry, but to interact and perform together.    Simon Armitage, Oxford Professor of Poetry and one of Britain’s best poets read his work from the anthology and Carol Ann Duffy and Gillian Clarke gave an exhilarating joint reading.  John Agard, Imitiaz Dharker, Grace Nicols and Dajit Nagra also performed some of their work which was both entertaining and fascinating.   Nicols even got the audience involved in her baby rap!
