Congratulations to our students who have been selected to compete in the West Midlands regional final for the Royal Society of Chemistry Top of the Bench Competition. Two students in the Upper Fourth, Gracia and Sundeep, will compete with Lauren from the Lower Fifth and Catherine from the Upper Fifth at the brand new Collaborative Teaching Laboratory at the University of Birmingham. The students achieved their place as one of the top ten teams in the previous qualifying round. The team will have the chance to demonstrate their Chemistry knowledge in a written quiz as well as a practical challenge. Good luck to everyone!
Netflix movie: 6888 Central Postal Directory Battalion
Exciting news! On Thursday 12 December, the BBC One Show featured the incredible true story behind the upcoming Netflix movie The Six Triple Eight, starring Kerry Washington and Oprah Winfrey. This was a remarkable opportunity to learn about the story of the 6888 Central Postal Directory Battalion – an all-female, predominantly African-American unit stationed at King Edward’s School during the Second World War.
