On 14th February, our Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4 badminton teams competed against Camp Hill Girls and King Edward’s Handsworth. Both teams got off to a great start winning all their games against Handsworth. Camp Hill provided much tougher opposition and our Key Stage 4 team just missed out on qualification for the next round by six points. However, our Key Stage 3 team managed to win all their games and will now advance to the regional round of the Nationals to see if they can retain their title!

German exchange trip to Hamburg
When we were not out on trips, our pupils were attending lessons with their exchange partners in our partner school, the Gymnasium Oldenfelde in Hamburg-Rahlstedt. It was fascinating to see the many differences between the English and German school systems.
