On Friday 12 June 2026, pupils and staff at Hodge Hill College are invited to wear a football shirt to celebrate the start of the World Cup. Pupils must wear full school uniform as normal, with the addition of a football shirt only (club, country or retro). Please note: this is not a non-uniform day.

On Friday 22 May 2026, Hodge Hill College Under 13s travelled to Edgbaston Indoor Cricket Centre to compete in the Warwickshire County Schools Cricket Finals.

In the first game, the team faced Five Ways, who set a large target of 118 off 8 overs. Hodge Hill made a remarkable comeback and needed only 9 runs from the last 3 balls, but narrowly fell short.

In the second game, the team played Waverley School, who set a target of 82 runs. Hodge Hill achieved the target with an impressive batting display, finishing 85-2 in the fifth over.

The team then had to wait for the final group game to see if they would make the final, but unfortunately did not progress, with Five Ways also beating Waverley.

Nonetheless, the team came very close and lost only to the overall winners, representing the school with great pride. The squad included three students from year 8 and three from year 7.

Our Year 9 Pupil Leaders were a real credit to the school during a recent visit to Hereward College in Coventry. The group of ten students took part in a highly enriching experience, gaining valuable insight into college life and a wide range of future learning opportunities.

During the visit, students were given a comprehensive tour of the campus led by the college’s Curriculum Manager. They explored a variety of learning spaces, including the industry‑standard kitchen where hospitality lessons take place, the music room, and the Library Resource Centre (LRC). A talk from the college librarian provided further insight into the extensive facilities and resources available to students.

The pupil leaders also had the opportunity to take part in four college lessons, including English, Maths, and Performing Arts. In each session, they participated enthusiastically in all activities and demonstrated confidence when speaking with college students and staff. One memorable experience was a mini British Sign Language (BSL) lesson led by one of the college’s second‑year students.

At lunchtime, our students ate alongside current college students, giving them a valuable chance to socialise, ask questions, and learn more about day‑to‑day college life. Another highlight of the day was a visit to the brand‑new immersive room, where students took part in an engaging science quiz.

Throughout the visit, the group was warmly welcomed by staff and students alike. They represented the school exceptionally well and received numerous positive compliments from college staff, with one teacher specifically praising their excellent manners.

Overall, the visit was a fantastic opportunity for our Year 9 Pupil Leaders to step outside their comfort zones, build confidence, and develop a deeper understanding of what college life has to offer.
