Oxplore Festival  On Thursday, 9th July, twelve of our Year 8 Excel Club pupils had the fantastic opportunity to attend the Oxplore Festival at Joseph Chamberlain College. Our pupils engaged into a variety of innovative tasks and thought-provoking STEM and languages activities designed to stretch their minds and challenge their thinking. A real highlight of the day was hearing from a panel of Birmingham students who made the journey from local schools all the way to studying at the prestigious University of Oxford. It was incredibly inspiring for our pupils to hear first-hand stories of what is possible with hard work and ambition.

Important update regarding the use of mobile phones in school As you may have seen in the media recently, all schools are expected to have rules in place from September 2026 to ensure that the building is free of the issues created by mobile phones and other such technology. Attached to this message is a letter that outlines what we will be doing at Holte. We have tried to strike a fair balance between enabling the students to have phones on the way to and from school for their safety, while also ensuring they do not interfere in the school day.
