Dear Parents/Carers, 

I am delighted to announce that Turves Green Boys’ School is to join Matrix Academy Trust. We are a Trust with four schools, 4,600 children, nearly 600 staff and a passion for school improvement. All of our schools have improved in Ofsted terms since joining the Trust. Our aim will be to work with pupils, parents and staff at Turves Green Boys’ to support the many improvements that have taken place since the school was placed in special measures. 

As a Trust we have high expectations of pupil behaviour both within and outside of school. Our commitment to safeguarding children is very strong. Usually we would have met with parents to introduce ourselves and give you the opportunity to ask any questions you may have. If you do have any questions please do not hesitate to send them addressed to me at postbox@matrixacademytrust.co.uk. 

Turves Green Boys’ School will become an Academy on 1 May 2021. This means that instead of Birmingham City Council employing the staff, the staff will transfer across to be employed by Matrix Academy Trust. We pride ourselves in developing outstanding teachers and support staff. Our schools all have committed staff and a wide range of before and after school activities including a Combined Cadet Force, Duke of Edinburgh opportunities and children who are very keen to learn. 

We hope that working in partnership with yourselves and your sons, together we can make a big difference at Turves Green Boys’ School. 

Thank you for your continued support.

Extra-Curricular Sports - Return in the Summer Term
Notice for all pupils; please look out for the extra-curricular information/posters around school after
the holidays, information will be coming out on how you can sign up for after school clubs in the
Summer Term. In line with government guidance the PE Department hope to re-launch extracurricular sports clubs after school in the Summer Term.

We are immensely proud of our hardworking cohort of GCSE pupils who have this year received an excellent set of GCSE results. These results reflect not only the years of hard work that they and their teachers have put in, but also recognise the consistently improving academic standard of the school.

We hope that, with schools and colleges opening their doors once again from September, each of our pupils can now put the uncertainty of the last few months aside and go forward with confidence.

Whilst we are proud of each and every one of our pupils, notable achievements include:

Pupil 1 - Grade 9s in Mathematics, Chemistry and Physics, Grade 8s in Biology and RE, Grade 7s in English Literature and History and Grade 6s in English Language and German.

Pupil 2 - Grade 9s in English Language, English Literature and Biology, Grade 8 in Physics, Grade 7s in Chemistry and Computer Science, a Level 2 Distinction in Creative iMedia, and Grade 6s in German and Mathematics. 

Pupil 3 - Grade 9s in History, Physics and RE, Grade 8s in Mathematics and Biology, Grade 7 in Chemistry, Grade 6s in English Language and English Literature and Grade 5 in French.
