We were impressed with the writing from Year 6 students in their brief English taster session. We are looking forward to seeing more of this next year #iamkingsmead #innovative

Our Y11 Leavers Assembly is tomorrow. Students should come along at 10.30 in full uniform for the last time. If students have any remaining text books they can be returned before the assembly. We are looking forward to seeing you all. It’s going to be emotional. #iamkingsmead

This was the view of the stage at the Globe Theatre when we took our students there to watch Romeo and Juliet this afternoon. The photos aren’t great but the production was. fantastic! Mercutio was awesome, the kids loved the hip hop dancing and Tybalt was played by a woman!

“This book has been one of the best I have ever read. It portrays the life of a young girl living in poverty in our local area of Walsall.” Mrs Taylor recommends Essie by Flora Pearce #kingsmeadreaders

[Kingsmead English @KingsmeadENG_]

“It is a really interesting and gripping book about a girl who loves learning to read. It is very moving and provides insight into what it was like to be a German child in the Second World War.” Mrs Greenwood recommends The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. #kingsmeadreaders

“The first line, "There really is no such thing as Art. There are only Artists", instilled a belief in me that we are free to create anything, there are no fundamental boundaries in Art, no rules.” Mr Palmer recommends The Story of Art by E.H. Gombrich #kingsmeadreaders

[Kingsmead English @KingsmeadENG_]

“As a child I always loved reading Enid Blyton stories but what I most liked reading each year were the annuals I was given.” Mrs Taylor recommends enjoying a Christmas Annual #kingsmeadreaders

[Kingsmead English @KingsmeadENG_]

“A fantastic book which focuses on racism and hatred through the eyes of a child. Such an amazing book!” Mrs Reynolds recommends To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee #kingsmeadreaders

[Kingsmead English @KingsmeadENG_]

“Apart from the minute observation of nature and character, it made me think about the protagonists long after I’d finished it. With Hardy novels, you can re-read it and always find something new.” Mrs Wilebur recommends Tess of the D'Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy #kingsmeadreaders

Year Eleven will find these helpful when remembering their An Inspector Calls quotations 👇
