Happy, Safe Halloween & Bonfire Night – Reminder from West Midlands Police
Published 15/10/25With the darker nights fast approaching, it is important that students are reminded what we, as a school community, expect of them in terms of behaviour. Parents/carers and students should already be aware that as part of our safeguarding arrangements, the school has a two-way information sharing agreement in place with West Midlands Police, and we are active members of the local Police & Schools Panel. This joint approach helps us to intervene early to prevent and reduce crime and anti-social behaviour involving our students and provide support and up-to-date safety messages.
For further guidance and information on a Happy, Safe Halloween & Bonfire Night, please read the attached letter.

Hodge Hill College Pupil Leaders Support Our Food Bank with Hygiene Kits and Kindness
Published 25/09/25Pupil Leaders at Hodge Hill College have been making a big difference in their school community by the school's food bank. In a heartwarming effort to help families in need, the dedicated pupils spent time in school packing and preparing small hygiene kits to be distributed to parents of fellow pupils.
These thoughtful kits, which included essential toiletries, were designed not only to support families but also to promote awareness of the food bank and the vital work it does. The Pupil Leaders personally handed out the kits and engaged warmly with parents, taking time to explain the food bank’s services and encourage those in need to make use of the support available.
Their efforts were met with appreciation from both staff and parents, who recognised the pupils’ maturity, compassion, and commitment to helping others. Mrs Sajed and Miss Reid are very proud of all the Pupil Leaders involved – a massive well done to each of them for representing the school with such kindness and leadership.
