🌿🎭 A Fantastic Summer Holiday Workshop! 🎭🌿 We were incredibly lucky to work closely with the Birmingham REP, who delivered an inspiring theatre workshop for our students, including our new Year 7s, during the first week of the summer holidays.

A huge thank you to the Birmingham REP team for providing such a memorable experience, and well done to all of the students who took part you should be incredibly proud of what you achieved ...

Jambo from Kenya! 🇰🇪 Our students, alongside students from Sir John Talbot's School and Camp International, have completed the first week of their four-week adventure in Kenya. During this time, they have been making a real difference in local communities by helping to de-worm goats, installing elephant deterrents to reduce human-wildlife conflict, and supporting the upgrade of a local school. They have also immersed themselves in Kenyan culture and daily life by experiencing a day in a Kenyan school, taking part in animal conservation activities, joining an eco-hike, spending time with a local women's group, and enjoying a safari. One of the highlights of the trip has been meeting members of the Maasai tribe, gaining a fascinating insight into their traditions and way of life. The students continue to show enthusiasm, resilience and teamwork, embracing every opportunity to learn and make a positive impact. Asante sana (thank you very much) to everyone who has supported this incredible journey so far. We look forward to sharing more updates as their adventure continues! Hakuna matata! ...

Open6 is about more than exams - from Model United Nations and Young Enterprise to volunteering, sport and enrichment activities, Open6 gives students opportunities to develop skills, meet new people and discover new interests.
Hear how these experiences help students build confidence and prepare for the future.
On Saturday, students from both Grove and Sir John Talbots school set off on their Camps International Expedition to Kenya. After a long couple of days travelling, they arrived safely in Kenya and travelled to their first camp, Camp Mama Mercy. Our students who are now known as Team Mchanga have already built some elephant deterrent fences, dewormed some goats and have completed some flooring works at a local Primary School. Their expedition is for 4 weeks so there will be lots of exciting activities ahead including a Safari in Tsavo East National Park, Scuba Diving and Conservation work. We hope they have an amazing time supported by Mr Astley and the Camps International Team. ... See MoreSee Less
