Students from KESH Academy took part in the Big History Quiz at the University of Birmingham today. Our students were exceptional in their preparation facing a mixture of topics and showed a real passion for learning. Their behaviour throughout the day was excellent and they beat Kings Heath Boys in a tie breaker to be awarded second place. Well done.

Well done to all our fantastic staff group and students! Staff have gained bragging rights by beating the students in the inaugural cricket match. The staff won the toss choosing to bat first. Openers Gordon and Pickford got off to a solid start hitting 26 off the first 2 overs. We were followed by strong performances from Cave and Hafeez as well as Eley and Blair with the bat. Helped along with Jensen and Clements, Watts and Graham, the staff managed to hit 76 runs leaving the students 77 to win!

After some, literally, back breaking bowling and a ‘wicket maiden’ over by Eley, the students ended up 11 runs short of the target which meant that the staff were victorious! Thanks to all those that came along, it was a lovely occasion, where, yet again our students build relationships and gain wider experiences outside the classroom!

Last Thursday was World Book Day and we celebrated with our very own Great British Book Off! It was an abbreviated version due to the weather, but we had a remarkable turnout during the storm. We were so impressed by the imagination in the contestants’ stories, and the quality of their cupcake decoration, especially given the time constraints. Thank you to all the staff who helped and our judges. They were very good sports and gave wonderfully detailed Bake-Off style critiques. Good book everyone!
