Sixth Form Taster Day  

This week Year 11 students have taken part in a sixth form taster day as part of the programme to help them prepare for their post-16 decisions. During the day, students experienced what it would be like to be a sixth former at Sutton Coldfield Grammar School for Girls. All students chose three A Level subjects to experience a taster lesson led by subject specialist teachers.

They received information and guidance about A level subject choices, the EPQ project and the range of options available to them during their enrichment time such as Latin, Crocheting, work experience and volunteering, in addition to a plethora of leadership opportunities.  They also spent time talking with current sixth former students to gain advice and understand the sixth form day from a student’s perspective.

If students, or parents, have any queries about sixth form, please visit the school website or use the email address sixthform@suttcold.bham.sch.uk to get in touch with the team.

Issues regarding parking in the school community 

The School recently has received numerous complaints from local residents about parking on adjacent roads to the School site. The picture below shows parking from one evening this week, with numerous vehicles parked on double yellow lines, both sides of the Goldieslie Road. This is a safety risk to our students and members of the local community, significantly disrupts the flow of traffic and damages the relations between the School and our neighbours. 

Please can parents ensure they are parking considerately and in compliance with the Highway Code. There are double yellow lines and zig-zag lines identifying areas where vehicles should not park or drop off passengers. 

There are numerous car parks located within walking distance of the school site (Holland Road, Duke Street and Upper Holland Road are the closest) so please use these if possible. Your support in this matter is much appreciated. 

Evening of Dance – February 2023 

The Evening of Dance is an opportunity for our students to showcase their skills and creativity through dance. This will be the first Evening of Dance where we have invited an audience since February 2020 and so we are really looking forward to what historically has been a wonderful evening! 

Tickets are available to purchase here. We really hope that you can join us.
