World Book Day

We celebrated World Book Day last Thursday and it

certainly was an exciting day! From Gangsta Granny to

Mary Poppins, we had a great variety of characters turn

up! Even the teachers made a superb effort in dressing up.

The best dressed characters from each class were given a

special treat the following day when they went to

Waterstones bookstore and were given the chance to

choose any book they liked. The winners of the best

dressed competition were:

New Ward Classifications—Birchfield

Last year the new ward boundaries for our local area were drawn up. One point that came to our attention

was that the school is now located in the new ‘Birchfield’ ward. There are regular Ward Forum meetings

where residents can raise issues of concern. These are attended by Councillor Mahmood Hussain. The

next Ward Forum meeting is on Wednesday 20th March at Grosvenor Road Studios, 16 Grosvenor

Road, Handsworth B20 3NP. Parents would be very welcome to attend. Please look over the page for the

new ward boundaries.
