Last week, a group of very enthusiastic, green-fingered students from South Bromsgrove High School were involved in a tree planting initiative on the school site with local engineering company, Air Technology Systems Ltd (ATS).
Still working for the future of the Students despite the current restrictions South Bromsgrove High School invited a wide range of visitors in from industry and enterprise to talk to the year 9 students. The “visitors” were in fact online but the technology meant they were able to tell the students about their own career paths and then allow the students to ask questions.
An interviewer who took part in South Bromsgrove High School’s mock interview day for Year 11 said that the concept, and standard of the students, had set the benchmark for others to follow.
In previous years, representatives from local business and enterprise have visited the school to conduct one-to-one interviews so that all 335 Y11 students could experience and practice in what can be quite a stressful situation. This year, with COVID restrictions in place, the school moved the whole exercise online. Students joined the interviewers for a video call lasting up to 20 minutes that included questions, feedback on performance and advice for the future.
Four gifted South Bromsgrove High School students will be starting courses at Oxford and Cambridge Universities in September following the receipt of outstanding A Level results.
Five schools shared in a day of stars and space at South Bromsgrove High School as part of the British Science week. Students from the host school, North Bromsgrove High, Bromsgrove School, St John’s Middle and Alvechurch schools all had sessions in a “pop-up” planetarium courtesy of the Ogden Trust and Keele University.
