  • Summer Fair 2025

    Published 09/07/25

    On Wednesday 9 July 9, Hodge Hill College was buzzing with excitement for the school’s highly anticipated Summer Fair. Within just one hour, the fair provided a whirlwind of fun, fundraising, and fantastic energy! To elevate the atmosphere, talented Hodge Hill pupils performed live music, adding a festival vibe to this already electric event.

    The fair featured over 10 vibrant stalls that kept the crowds engaged. From the challenge of the balancing lemon game to the competitive excitement of the football challenge, every corner offered something new for pupils to explore. Popular activities like guessing the name of the teddy bear and identifying teachers in their baby photos kept pupils guessing throughout lunch! Treasure map prizes and mystery prizes added an element of surprise for all participants, alongside the thrill of a grand prize. Additionally, small prizes for every game ensured no one left empty-handed.

    No fair is complete without delicious treats, and Hodge Hill certainly delivered! A mouth-watering cake sale kept everyone fuelled, the ramen stall was a surprising hit (with every single packet sold out!), and the book sale brought joy to every reader.

    What made this event truly special was that it was entirely planned, organised, and run by 30 incredible pupil leaders, demonstrating how much can be achieved with teamwork and determination. In just 60 minutes, this pupil-powered event raised an impressive £320, showcasing what’s possible when young leaders take initiative. A huge congratulations to all involved—your passion, energy, and commitment made this Summer Fair one to remember!

  • UNICEF Rights Respecting School Silver Award

    Published 01/07/25

    Over the past year, we have been actively working to achieve the UNICEF Rights Respecting School Silver Award. This journey involved enhancing pupils' knowledge and understanding of their rights through Tutor Time activities and Personal Development lessons. We implemented an oracy strategy that encourages pupils to confidently and respectfully express their views, and we used our CARE brand to promote courtesy and mutual respect throughout all areas of school life. Additionally, we organised a variety of events aimed at empowering pupils to make a positive impact in their local community.

    In July, we were formally assessed and are proud to announce that we successfully achieved the Silver Award. However, our commitment to children’s rights doesn’t end here. In the coming years, we will continue to uphold the high standards expected of a Silver Award school as we work towards our next goal: achieving the Gold Award.

  • Bronze Duke of Edinburgh's Award Expedition

    Published 27/06/25

    In June, 16 Year 11 pupils successfully completed their Bronze Duke of Edinburgh's Award expedition. This two-day, one-night challenge took place in the Wyre Forest area, where the pupils demonstrated their independence and resilience. To complete the expedition, they navigated a designated route using their map-reading skills, carried fully equipped backpacks, set up tents to sleep in, and cooked meals using camping stoves.

    This expedition marked the final component of the Bronze Award for these pupils, who had already completed the volunteering, physical, and skills sections. The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award is an internationally recognised qualification that provides invaluable experiences, enhancing applications for part-time jobs, colleges, and apprenticeships.

    The award also forms part of our Secure Curriculum at Hodge Hill College. The determination, teamwork, and self-management demonstrated throughout the expedition exemplify the values of 'achievement' and 'excellence' within our CARE framework.

    Congratulations to all the pupils involved, and best of luck as you begin your Silver Award journeys in your Post-16 destinations!
