The much publicised HS2 rail project, which will unite the area with London, is likely to stimulate further investment, making the city one of the most commercially attractive cities in Europe. Significant investment from home and abroad should help to alleviate the city’s unemployment problem in the coming years, making Birmingham a European hub for international business. The city is regarded as the 18th best city in Europe in which to locate a business (1), providing access to over 100,000 graduates, with competitive advantage in areas like automotive and aerospace research. Commercial Property – Industrial Units, Office Space to Rent 3 A guide to business in Birmingham Key commercial property trends With the development of the HS2 rail project, Birmingham is bracing itself for a boom in commercial property demand, with multi-national firms encouraged to use the city as their primary British base. While demand has slowed down following the financial crisis, the office, industrial and retail sectors are expected to exceed the rest of the UK average until 2015: Source: GVA Regional Cities Seminar: Invest in Birmingham/IPD REFL Jan 2011 Speculative developments like the city centre Paradise Circus project are likely to be completed, offering new Grade-A office plots, along with retail space, hotel and entertainment facilities.

  • Building Birmingham: a Tour in Three Parts of the Building Stones Used in the City Centre
    Urban Geology in the English Midlands No. 3 Building Birmingham: A tour in three parts of the building stones used in the city centre. Part 3. Around the shops from the ‘Back of Rackham’s’ to the Bullring Ruth Siddall, Julie Schroder and Laura Hamilton The name ‘Birmingham’ is derived from the Anglo-Saxon Beormingahām, alluding to the home of the Beormingas clan and their settlement here was probably established as early as the 7th Century A.D. However the centre remained a poor region until the later 12th Century when Peter de Bermingham, local lord of the manor, developed a market centre around his castle, in the area that is now the Bull Ring. From then Birmingham’s economy began to take off and it became established as a small market town. The Bull Ring has also been shown to be an area of light industry at this time. Archaeological excavations carried out during the latest phase of construction in the early 2000s have revealed evidence of potters’ workshops and leatherworks during the 13th Century. This building stone walk focuses on the old centre of Birmingham, around the church of St Martin in the Bull Ring and the surrounding shopping malls. The area demonstrates continuity as a centre for trade and retail but the building materials used here have changed beyond those that would have been familiar to Peter de Bermingham and his family. The area has been transformed over the last two decades, and though the oldest part of the city of Birmingham, it is now the symbol of a new vibrant centre, with the covered markets replaced by glamorous shopping malls.

This is a busy term for all our students with a key focus being revision. Year 7-10 examinations take place the week beginning 4 June. 'How to revise' will be a key focus for assemblies in the coming weeks. One factor closely allied to exam success is phone usage and game playing. Usage is at unhealthy levels and we, as parents, need to do all we can to get balance and moderation in our young people and how they use new technologies. We would advise that: . Parents limit phone usage/game playing . Students don't have a phone in their bedrooms. There is a lot of evidence about how a phone (even switched off) in a bedroom can have a detrimental impact on sleep . Students don't use phones at mealtimes. It goes without saying that excessive phone or games usage can impact negatively on academic achievement and mental health. Psychologists are worried by research showing that Android users in the US are 'touching their phones on average 2,617 times her day. The problem is huge and concerted action is needed to get a better balance in our use of phones.
