School visits
[edit | edit source]Charles, Prince of Wales
[edit | edit source]Charles, Prince of Wales visited the school in April 2008. He was interested in the school's farm and how the pupils looked after the animals. The school won the DCSF Sustainable Schools Award[2] in 2009. As of July 2017, the farm was being shut down due to fewer pupils not choosing to participate in the animal care subjects as well as the new management's focus on academic subjects.[3]
Ed Sheeran
[edit | edit source]Ahead of his concert at the Coventry Building Society Arena, Ed Sheeran visited the school as part of a music project across Coventry. He introduced Access to Music Industry and Your Voice, which he launched through his Ed Sheeran Foundation (ESF) in partnership with Coventry Music, part of Coventry City Council, and St Giles Trust.[4]
Malawi links
