Pupils and staff celebrate opening of two new Birmingham school sites

Eden Girls’ Leadership Academy, Birmingham and The Olive School, Birmingham are celebrating the opening of their new, permanent school sites.

The two purpose-built sites will give pupils access to outstanding facilities in environments that are tailored to ensuring every pupil is able to achieve their very best outcomes.

The new Eden Girls’ Leadership Academy, Birmingham site, which is located on Hob Moor Road in Small Heath, will provide pupils with a new modern 48,000 square foot campus. Pupils will benefit from modern teaching classrooms, featuring the latest technology, with specialist rooms for art, food technology, creative arts and ICT.

The building also boasts a suite of well-equipped, contemporary science laboratories, a large science preparatory room and a modern, spacious library with a new learning resource centre. Pupils and staff will also have access to a reflection hall for prayer, and an ablutions room. The school is also home to outstanding sports facilities, including a sports hall, 3G multi-games pitches and an artificial grass pitch.

Famida Rawoot, Principal at Eden Girls’ Leadership Academy, Birmingham, said: “We are very excited to be starting this new chapter in the history of the school.

“The new school campus is the realisation of several years of hard work and planning and we are all absolutely delighted that our dream has now become a reality.

“To provide our pupils and staff with a school that they truly deserve is a wonderful feeling. We can’t wait to use all the fantastic facilities and are looking forward to many years of exceptional learning in our new permanent home.”

The Olive School, Birmingham’s new permanent site will ensure pupils have access to excellent facilities to support their future education and growth. The new school, which is located on Reddings Lane, will provide its young pupils with access to 21 modern classrooms, a specialist multimedia room for food technology, science and art, several group rooms, a large multi-use hall and a library. The school will also have a reflection room to facilitate prayer and an ablutions room.

Pupils at the primary school will also benefit from exceptional outdoor facilities, including a multi-games pitch, a sensory garden – which pupils helped to design – and a special play area for Reception pupils.  Thanks to a new school kitchen, the school will be able to provide on-site catering for pupils and staff for the very first time.

Rifat Batool, Principal at The Olive School, Birmingham, said pupils, parents and staff were delighted with the new school building.

She said: “We are overjoyed to have moved to this wonderful new site. The facilities are truly superb and we know that they will help to ensure that pupils receive a high-quality education and first-class experience at our school.
