Each year we fund scholarships for two or more pupils entering the Sixth Form. Scholarships are awarded to members of the Upper Fifth Form who have made an outstanding contribution to the wider life of the School, both curricular and co-curricular.

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?

  • 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 2019 Edition of the Silhillian, Now Produced by the School’S Development and Old Silhillians’ Office
    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.
