It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the website for King Edward VI Handsworth School for Girls. I hope that this will give you an insight and a flavour of our school.
My aim at Handsworth is to lead a school where our students are able to flourish academically and socially and be part of a rich, vibrant and diverse community where a wide variety of extra curricular opportunities are offered and active participation is encouraged. We believe that education can transform lives and our school aims to inspire the students to be curious learners, who are confident to think creatively, underpinned by values of honesty, integrity and a sense of social justice. We want every student here to have the opportunity to learn about themselves, the world and to shape and develop the role they will play in the future.
We are a busy, caring and supportive school which values praise, enjoyment, respect and honesty in all we do. A rich programme of extra curricular provision provides chances for the students to develop outside of the classroom, particularly in skills of confidence, teamwork and leadership.
Of fundamental importance to us is the wellbeing of all who work and learn with us. Our pastoral care and support seeks to provide care, nurture and guidance to help our students navigate the challenges of growing up in our fast paced, complex world. Our school is not just about achieving examination results; alongside academic excellence we aim to develop young people who leave the school with a secure sense of identity, a respect, tolerance for and understanding of difference and diversity and as well rounded, confident young people who are ready and able to embrace the challenges and opportunities of adult life.
Our website can only give a flavour of the school. We would encourage any of you who are considering applying for a place for your child to come and visit us on one of our many open events.
Thank you for your interest in our School. Since 1883, and on this splendid site since 1911, our School has been educating generations of able girls to take their place as movers and shapers in Birmingham and beyond. Always conscious of our roots, history and traditions, we are a forward looking School, which strives in every way to prepare our students for the many challenges and opportunities facing them in the twenty-first century. Our facilities are first class and all the people who study and work here contribute to the vibrant atmosphere that exists. Do try to visit us and feel this vibrancy at first hand.
I feel proud and privileged to be Chair of Governors of such an exciting institution and I, and my fellow Governors, work hard to enable the School to continue to develop and grow in every way.
