Community and Welfare
We work very closely with local Community organisations such as Aspire & Succeed, Legacy and Citizen's UK to help support the local community with the school as an important resource within this. We are also part of the Handsworth Association of schools, which provides us with additional resources, such as a Food Bank for members of our school community to access.
