[Mr Dowe 🖖🏾 @ADoweSci]

Today, after seven years of Delivering a CORE Education, it's time to say goodbye. Thank you to everyone I've worked/interacted with at @COREeducate; it has been fun and rewarding.

From September, it's hello to @WinAcadTrust, as Deputy Headteacher for Academic Excellence!

[Mr Dowe 🖖🏾 @ADoweSci]

It's at times like these you appreciate the best qualities of your team and remember I work with some very talented people.

[The Birmingham & Midland Institute @bmi1854]

Today is a special day in Birmingham's history! On July 3rd, 1854, the @bmi1854 was founded with the vision of promoting education, science, and the arts for all.
171 years on, the BMI stands as a testament to enduring intellectual curiosity and cultural enrichment.

🕯️ Honouring Holocaust survivors and ensuring their stories are never forgotten.

At Buckingham Palace, The King met 94-year-old Holocaust survivor Manfred Goldberg and representatives from organisations working to educate future generations about the Holocaust.

His Majesty lit a candle for the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust’s ‘80 Candles for 80 Years’ project and explored new AI and virtual reality tools bringing survivor testimonies and Holocaust sites to life for students. The afternoon ended with a moving performance by Echo Eternal, a project inviting young people to create artistic responses to the testimonies of British Holocaust survivors.

Proud to be part of @COREeducate and honoured to have witnessed this event.

Having collaborated with @KEVIAston previously, I know that any students wanting to study Post-16 there would be in for a treat!

[City Academy @CORECityAcademy]

Year 11 were thrilled to welcome staff from @KEVIAston to Assembly this morning to talk about Post-16 opportunities for students. @COREeducate #COREOpportunity

It's become a tradition of mine to read Wilfred Owen's war poetry on Remembrance Sunday.

Surgeons of the future! 💪🏾

[Mr Dowe 🖖🏾 @ADoweSci]

I spoke to a few of the students this afternoon, they were already thinking about the future and what they would want to study at @unibirmingham. The visit has clearly ignited a fire in our students, which is often the most rewarding part of these trips.

[City Academy @CORECityAcademy]

Students in Year 10 enjoyed a visit to @unibirmingham today. After a tour, they got to visit some of the STEM departments, as well as a chance to observe some of the weird and wonderful robots built in the university itself!

The buzz from the students was palpable, and the Year 11s showed great leadership qualities supporting the fledgling bakers.

[City Academy @CORECityAcademy]

The first Baking Club session of the year took place this afternoon, led by Miss Ali! Students made Lemon Drizzle cupcakes to take home with them and were supported by Year 11 Hospitality and Catering students. The corridor smelled wonderful! @COREeducate #COREOpportunity

[Mr Dowe 🖖🏾 @ADoweSci]

I'm very proud of the hard work and expertise within our Teaching and Learning Working Party and have thoroughly enjoyed the high-quality SPD they are delivering! #COREExcellence

At City, it is "cool" to study.

[City Academy @CORECityAcademy]

It was fantastic to see Year 10s and 11s getting in early with after school study in the LRC, forming study groups. Students were revising 'An Inspector Calls', Computer Science and Biology. They are surely on their way to excellence if they continue in this vein. @COREeducate

[City Academy @CORECityAcademy]
