Solihull School Careers Advisor SOLIHULL SCHOOL Appointment of CAREERS ADVISOR for August 2013 Information for Applicants Solihull School Warwick Road, Solihull, West Midlands B91 3DJ Tel: 0121 703 2947 Fax: 0121 711 2923 Email: [email protected] Website: www.solsch.org.uk SOLIHULL SCHOOL Solihull School was founded in 1560 from the revenues of the parish chantry chapels of St Mary and St Katherine and it remains a Christian foundation. In 1882 the School moved to its present site in the centre of Solihull. The site and the history of the School have created a very strong link between the School and the local community, although many pupils do come to the School from elsewhere in the West Midlands. The original 19th Century School House survives, but there has been extensive recent development. In January 2002 two major buildings were completed at a total cost of over £5 million: the conversion of the old assembly hall into an extensive library and IT facilities, and the building of a new hall/theatre (the Bushell Hall). This new building has a capacity of 450 as a theatre and 800 as an assembly hall, and contains a drama studio and drama work room. In summer 2002 the original School House was refurbished to provide better facilities for the Sixth Form, and for the Art and Psychology Departments. In August 2003 a new pavilion (the Alan Lee Pavilion) was completed, which provides all the sports changing facilities for the School, as well as a large social area. In addition, the 50-acre site allows excellent provision for games and includes a sports centre with squash courts, astroturf, swimming pool, netball courts and several floodlit playing areas. The School announced in 2003 its intention to become fully co-educational and this process began in September 2005 with 22 girls in Year 7 and 29 in the Junior School. There are now 366 girls in the School, 95 of whom are in the Junior School. At the same time plans were announced for a major refurbishment of the Junior School, at a cost of £1 million, and the building of a large teaching area (the George Hill Building). Both were completed for the arrival of the girls. In addition a new, state of the art Music School, named after a former Director of Music, Mr David Turnbull, has been completed to commemorate the 450th anniversary of the School in 2010. The School at present has 1013 pupils. There are 203 pupils in the Junior School (age 7 to 11), 532 pupils in the years from age 11 to 16 and 278 in the Sixth Form. Of the intake at 11+ into the Lower School, about half come from the Junior School and half come from other schools. The School has the funds to make a very substantial provision of scholarships, including Art and Music scholarships, at different ages, particularly at 11+ and 16+, and funds its own assisted places scheme. Over 200 pupils in the School have some form of financial award or assistance. Solihull has a strong academic record. In 2012 the School achieved a 100% pass rate in all A Level subjects and over 85% at A or B grade, and this year 8 pupils gained places at Oxford and Cambridge. Almost all pupils go on to university. The School offers a very wide range of choices at A Level, including Psychology, Religious Studies, Business Studies, Photography and Theatre Studies. However, extra-curricular activities are also central to the ethos of the School. Music thrives, with a chapel choir, several choral groups, an orchestra and many musical groups. There were 23 different musical groups at the last count. Drama is available in the curriculum and there are productions by different sections of the School, as well as a major musical. Last year there were 7 different plays performed. Sport is also very important, offering rugby, hockey (for boys and girls), cricket, athletics, swimming, netball, badminton, golf, cross country, canoeing, basketball, squash, shooting and chess. Recently there has been national and regional success for school teams in tennis, badminton and cricket. In addition, the School owns a cottage in Snowdonia, which is used by all pupils in their second year in the Lower School, by the School’s Mountain Club and by staff. There are opportunities for pupils to undertake overseas trips and tours, recent expeditions being to Chile, Nepal, South America, Africa, Tibet, Ladakh and Norway. In summer 2009 the 1st XI cricket team took part in the Sir Garfield Sobers International Tournament in Barbados and again in 2011. Many pupils are involved in the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Scheme, the CCF and service in the local community. The School has achieved recent success in the European Youth Parliament, with a team of Sixth Formers becoming UK Champions at the National Forum. The team went on to represent the UK at the International Session of the EYP in Dublin. Solihull School is a member of the Warwick Group of schools, which offers Heads of Department and other senior staff the opportunity to meet and share experiences with staff of seven other similar schools in the Midlands (Warwick, King Edward’s Birmingham, King Henry VIII Coventry, Bablake, Loughborough Grammar, Nottingham High, and Wolverhampton Grammar). Further details about Solihull may be found in the Independent Schools’ Handbook and on the School’s website (http://www.solsch.org.uk).

What do you enjoy doing outside of school? I am an active member of the School’s Combined Cadet Force, which has given me the opportunity to try things I wouldn’t have been able to otherwise, and taught me new skills. The social aspect is also great fun, as is helping out with D of E as an assessor. I enjoy travel and am looking forward to spending more time doing that when I retire. Family and friends are important to me, and I hope to see more of them once lockdown is fully lifted and we can have proper get togethers again. I enjoy cooking, gardening and photography too, so look forward to having more time to spend on those pastimes as well. Oscar Montgomery What’s your favourite song of all time?

    The Silhillian 2019 P E I A R S T E V E R A N A I T N A R E E V P E R S Solihull c1936 THE SILHILLIAN 1 Welcome to the new look Silhillian From the Chairman of the OSA Committee, Barry Allen (Windsor 1968-1975) At school, I always seemed to be answering exam questions on the topic of “revolution or evolution?” The production of this Silhillian magazine in conjunction with the school’s Development and Old Silhillians’ Office might seem like a revolution, but it is really a natural evolution of the Association’s relationship with the school. We are indebted to the school for the increasing energy which is being put into widening contacts within the Old Silhillian community and between Old Silhillians and the school. That can only make us a more inclusive organization – to the benefit of a much wider group – and it is reflected in the varied content of this magazine. Enjoy it, and please provide feedback on what you would like to see in future editions. Ultimately, we all share a common – perhaps short, but often very significant – period in our lives. The Association exists to maintain links between us and to help, where we can, the pupils to face a challenging world. Please get involved if you are able to. Barry Allen (Windsor 1968-1975). Finally, we are looking forward to our centenary in 2021. That will be a special year in the history of the Association.

  • All's Parliament
    Park Hall’s park visit to Parliament Park Hall Academy politics students and members of Castle Bromwich Youth Parish Council visited the Palace of Westminster on Monday 7 July 2014. We were delighted to be accompanied by members of Castle Bromwich Parish Council including the Vice Chairman of the Parish Council, Councillor Mrs. P Allen; Councillor Mr Eric Knibb; along with the Clerk to the Council, Mrs Cathy Tibbles. The students enjoyed a guided tour of both the House of Commons and the House of Lords chambers and the historic Westminster Hall. Our tour guide spent a lot of time explaining how parliament works and the lobbying system. Students were told about the ‘Green and Red Card’ system that allows members of the student body to see their MP or a Member of the Lords. We also learned about the significance of the building and numerous paintings such as the Battle of Waterloo and Trafalgar. We then walked to Portcullis House in Westminster to meet Caroline Spellman, Meriden MP who provided lunch and gave our students the opportunity to ask questions about the role of an MP. Students asked a life number of questions including: I Were you interested in politics when you were our age? I What ambitions did you have when you became an MP? I Would you encourage young people to participate in political activity such as joining the Youth Council? I What topics do you feel particularly strongly about? I Have you always enjoyed debating or do you prefer other aspects of the job? I Do you think more should be done to create jobs for young people as there are lots of agency work and zero hour contracts? Caroline Spellman was extremely generous with her time and discussed jobs available in the Midlands, Fare Trade and delivering a speech on the Slave Trade.
