"Bromsgrove's got Talent"
Everyone who witnessed either the semis or the final will agree that this competition certainly did unearth some talent.  It was very heartening to see the range and variety of the pupils’ performances.  This event alone raised £474  and we hope that this push our total for the amount raised during Charities Week to over £3500.

U13 Netball IAPS Champions
After  a nailbiting semi-final and then final, the Under 13 girls won the IAPS netball championship.  Well done  to the team and to their coaches Mrs Mullan and Mrs Strangward for all their hard work which has certainly paid off.

News Update - February 29th

Belmont Abbey
Year 7 visited Belmont Abbey for a history day. Belmont is a working monastery where monks live, work and worship.  Pupils were fascinated by the tour around the grounds and church. They saw how the grounds have developed over the years since Medieval times and how the monks provide for themselves by growing their own food.  Two monks, Father James and Brother Bernard, were on had to answer questions.
