30 lucky Year 7 students had the opportunity to watch ‘The Nutcracker’ this afternoon at the Birmingham Hippodrome. For some, it was their first ever theatre experience and free ice cream is always the best 🎭 🩰

On National 'Best Friend Day', Mohammed cashed in his merit points and purchased a JQA hoodie for his best friend. Needless to say, his best friend, Hardik, and the rest of the JQA staff were in awe of his selflessness!
It’s fantastic having our Year 11’s back helping us out during our Sports Day at Hadley Stadium. It’s inspiring to see Taye, DQ, and Ijah running as pacemakers for their fellow students

Fascinating visit to Jadów this morning. Once a bustling town of 2000, we encountered the void left by the murder of its majority Jewish population. Pictured is the cemetery reclaimed by nature with no Jewish community to maintain it.
