Women in History<br />

In Year 8 History, we have been looking <strong>at</strong><br />

significant women in history and this has really<br />

helped our students to see just how important<br />

these women were and how they overcame many<br />

challenges to achieve the things they did. We have<br />

been learning about Cleop<strong>at</strong>ra, Joan of Arc,<br />

Elizabeth I, Pocahontas, Mary Seacole and<br />

Margaret Th<strong>at</strong>cher. This has also got students<br />

thinking about other groups of people who may be<br />

missing from history and how there are still many<br />

gender inequalities in the world today.<br />

Acocks Green Lions<br />

We are very gr<strong>at</strong>eful to the Acocks Green Lions for<br />

the support they give our school. They very<br />

generously don<strong>at</strong>ed £250 towards our school food<br />

bank. Some of our students went out to support<br />

them with their Santa Sleigh in the week before<br />

Christmas.<br />

Cleop<strong>at</strong>ra,<br />

c. 69BC to 30BC<br />

Joan of Arc, c. 1412 to 1431
