Annual Birchwood Primary Games
On a very hot July day, Birchwood High School hosted the annual Birchwood Games.
600 Year 3 and 4 students from local Primary Schools attend throughout the day, experiencing a carousel of activities. This year pupils had the opportunity to try a variety of activities including; Archery, Cheerleading, Curling, Dodgeball, Futsal and Hip Hop dance, alongside more
traditional activities such as Netball, Cricket, Hockey and Basketball.
Sessions were run by local coaches and a number of Birchwood High School students gave up their day off to assist in the running of the event. A fabulous day was had by all and we look forward to doing it all again next year.
Miss Peet would like to say a big thank you to the following students who helped the event run smoothly: Madeleine Gilbank, William Gilbank, Henry East, Hannah Ingram, Ruby Willow Sudbury, Rubie Goodvin, Ellie Gibson, Alfie Snook, Ella Parkes, Aime Smith and Dennis Earle.
Also a huge thank you to Miss Perrett for running the netball sessions on the day and Alumni student Joe Moore who also returned to help run cricket on the day! We couldn’t run these festivals without your support!

Well Done to all LAMDA Students
Last summer our Year 9, 10 and 12 Drama GCSE and A Level students completed their Grade 4, 5 and 8 LAMDA exams in acting and musical theatre. The students put so much time and effort into their performances and it certainly paid off! All of our students achieved a Merit or Distinction grade as their end result. As a school we are very proud of these students and look forward to more LAMDA fun in the future!
