At King Edward VI Handsworth School for Girls, there are no timetabled lessons on alternate Wednesday afternoons in week 1 and instead the time is used to extend and enrich the curriculum for students. With parental consent, students can either choose to remain in school to participate in an extra-curricular activity aimed at improving student wellbeing and extending the school curriculum or they may leave the school site to undertake work experience, volunteering and independent study opportunities.
School buses operate as normal at the end of the school day for those students who are staying in school and wish to travel home by the Green Bus. School buses will not be available for students wishing to leave school at 1.20pm and these students will have to make their own way home or be picked up by a parent.
