Turves Green Boys' School have been celebrating the achievements of a number of our staff. Whatever role they have to play in the smooth operation of the school all of our staff do a fantastic job to make the Turves Green Boys' vision a reality. From the amazing work of the site team, catering staff and admin department to the teachers in the classroom delivering on that promise for high quality education. We really couldn’t do it without the diligence, support and determination from all of our team who work tirelessly, continuingly looking for ways to adapt and develop to ensure they deliver the very best in whatever job they do.

To mark this the Matrix Academy Trust have recognised the achievements of a number of our staff across the year. Whilst it would be true to say all of our team deserve awards of some description and we are immensely proud of all, these individuals have stood out particularly as helping to make Turves Green Boys' what it is today. Turves Green wouldn’t be Turves Green without each and every one of these members and the rest of the staff body. We thank you for all of your support as Turves Green Boys' stakeholders throughout this year and invite you to wish our staff a huge Well Done for an extremely successful 2022!

Dance students from across the Matrix Academy Trust came together on Monday 21^st November at Turves Green Boys School to perform in a collaborative project. Each school was assigned a section of ‘Celebrate’ by Pitbull to choreograph and perform, before all coming together as one to learn and perform the final section. The event saw over 100 students come together and share their passion for dance. Students thoroughly enjoyed the experience of performing in front of others and making new friends. The overall performance shows the motivation and commitment that these students have for the subject.

After securing a STEM grant from the Millennium Point Trust, on the 1^st of December, members of our year 8 STEM club went to Millennium Point to deliver a presentation on their project to research, design and make something to use in the local community.  The pupils had decided to make outdoor tables for the local retirement complex in Turves Green.  They produced and delivered a presentation to the CEO of the Millennium Point Trust, explaining the process and showcasing the finished products. Everyone was incredibly impressed with the hard work the pupils had put into the project.  

 Well done to all of the pupils involved! 

On a blustery autumn morning, over one hundred cadets and staff from four of our schools braved the high winds and cold to pay their respects to those who have given the most to our communities and country within the armed forces and emergency services. At this time, we also remembered those innocent civilians who lost their lives in the crossfire of conflict.

This year, our Armistice Day parade was held at Barr Beacon School in Walsall and was attended by the Headteachers from Barr Beacon School, Bloxwich Academy, Dame Elizabeth Cadbury School, Etone College and Turves Green Boys' School. Major (Ret) Simon Cuthbert of the West Midlands Cadet Expansion Programme attended as the inspecting officer, and our CEO Ms Lynsey Draycott was also in attendance. It was a proud moment for all of the cadets. 

The parade was commanded by Flt Lt Muller. Ms Broome of Barr Beacon School (a Veteran of Afghanistan and Iraq) conducted The Act of Remembrance. All of the cadets and staff marked the two minutes silence before Maj Cuthbert addressed the parade about the importance of remembrance and how smart all of the cadets looked whilst on parade.

LEST WE FORGET.  

On September 30th, TGBS hosted a Macmillan cake sale to support the Macmillan Coffee Morning. Over £220 was raised with staff and pupils enjoying a range of cakes. A huge thank you to Ethan H and Tristan F in Year 8, and James B, Ashley D, Reece B, Danny B, George M and Jack in Year 10 who helped set up the cake sale, and who willingly gave up their break and lunch to help sell cakes.

We are proud to support Macmillan and we are planning other events in the near future. Thank you to Mrs Dyer and to all pupils who baked for the event!

Pupils will return to school on Tuesday 6th September 2022.

Year 7 should arrive for a 8.50am start. All other year groups (Year 8-11) should arrive for a 9.30am start.

We are looking forward to welcoming you all back.

Turves Green Boys' pupils have surpassed all expectations with a great set of GCSE results.

We have seen a 50% increase in pupils achieving the top grades of 9-7 in both English and maths combined. The vast majority of our cohort have achieved the required results to go on to their first-choice destination in post-16 studies.

Congratulations to you all!
