We are super excited to be publishing again after a truly crazy year! Our last issue was April/May 2020 just as we went into our first lockdown. We thought it would last two weeks, little did we know it was going to have such a profound effect on how we live our lives. A turning point in history. Our heartfelt thoughts are with those who have been affected by the virus, and we applaud all those who have worked tirelessly to fight this invisible enemy. We’re encouraged by the positive outcomes of this crisis with a strengthening of community values. Neighbours supporting neighbours and an uplift in volunteering within the community, together with a tangible desire to support local businesses. We paused publishing because so many businesses who were facing difficulties suspended their advertising. Gradually things have been returning to some semblance of normality, and so here we are, back where we belong! And not a moment too soon. You will see many familiar faces within these pages, as we are fortunate to have a loyal and supportive community of businesses ready to serve local people. If you know of anyone who would benefit from reaching out to our readership please ask them to get in touch. This is the perfect time to stand out from the crowd inundating the online space and come on in with us as we drop onto doormats and find a home on the coffee tables of local readers. Bye for now,

SCHOOL’S OUT FOR SUMMER Teachers and pupils alike will have all heaved a sigh of relief on the last day of term after 18 months of Covid upheaval. Zoom school, bubbles, masks, regular testing, and self isolation have all put a strain on everyone’s nerves and patience. And now, finally, we can look forward to the return of a sense of normality and continuity to school life in the new school year. Start and finish times will no longer be staggered, face coverings and social distancing won’t be required. Self isolation for all pupils who’ve been in contact with a student testing positive will be a thing of the past. (We hope!)

WEST HOUSE SCHOOL Founded in 1895, West House School is situated in a quiet corner of Edgbaston and specialises in the teaching of boys, whilst also providing a first-rate nursery education for boys and girls. The success of West House is founded on two basic principles. The first is that school days should be fun and second is that a broad curriculum will provide pupils with the skills that they need in the years ahead. Mr Lyttle, head teacher for the past 16 years, comments: “There is clear research to show that pupils who enjoy their educational journey and engage in it with a sense of fun, make the best progress. “ He continues: Our academic results speak for themselves with the vast majority of our leavers transferring to Birmingham’s grammar and leading independent schools but we recognise that the key to this success lies in ensuring the boys experience a breadth of learning and so we place a huge emphasis on sport and arts and we make sure that school is a fun and happy place to be. Mr Lyttle concludes: “I’m hugely proud of the diverse range of learning opportunities that the boys at West House receive and firmly believe that this helps the boys to have the confidence to develop their own sense of self and resilience. Life skills that will ensure they are able to thrive wherever life takes them.”

Pupils at The Blue Coat School ‘kept calm and carried on’ in a year like no other. With their BCS Values of patience and perseverance to the fore, high academic standards were maintained thanks to an innovative Distance Learning programme.

Music continues at Camp Hill Even though it has been a very challenging year, and impossible to continue rehearsing and performing with our orchestras, ensembles and choirs, it has been great to see our musicians finding inventive ways to continue with their music. We have a number of outstanding musicians, and many have worked extremely hard to achieve their goals.

Sam Gray, (pictured front left) a gifted singer and pianist, applied for Trinity College, Cambridge. He gained a place for music, and also a Choral Scholarship in the choir there. This is an outstanding achievement: Trinity College Choir were voted fifth best choir in the world in Gramophone magazine’s “20 Greatest Choirs”.

From a talented sixth form group, two applied to study music at Oxford and Cambridge.

Congratulations to them both, and to all musicians who have managed to keep performing in these very difficult times. We wish them all the very best for the future.

Anna Sutton, (pictured front right) a talented singer and violinist, applied for Oxford, and we are delighted that she not only gained a place for music, but also a Choral Scholarship at Magdalen College.

Life’s lessons in Lockdown Clare Macro, Headmistress, Edgbaston High School for Girls

The past 15 months have been extraordinary. Almost overnight, the pandemic forced us to re-evaluate how we live, work and interact with others. We have appreciated the value of the little things, got to grips with technologies that would have taken us years to master, and re-evaluated what is important to us and what we might prioritise in the future. We all know the hashtag ‘this girl can’ and very definitely ‘EHS girls can’. We were amazed to see that our pupils adjusted to being taught from their homes, rather than school, in a heartbeat and so did the teachers. Staff went over and above (as they always do) to deliver a truly outstanding programme of remote learning for all our girls, meaning that each had a set daily timetable and was able to keep pace with her learning. At times we had to remind ourselves that pupils had not, for the most part, been in school such was the engagement in the learning and the co-curricular opportunities on offer; the quality of work produced for competitions and awards meant that we were able to dedicate

an entire magazine simply to showcasing the girls’ efforts in lockdown. We are justifiably proud of the way that the whole school community rose to and dealt with the many challenges that came our way. As good as it was, however, online learning is no substitute for learning in a classroom surrounded by peers and with teachers present and able to respond to questions or ideas. Nowhere has that been more evident than in the school corridors - with everyone back in school over the last term the energy levels have been palpable and infectious! The amount of activity, events and initiatives going on across all four departments at any one time is almost dizzying. But exhausting as it may be, when we think back to the days of lockdown and the endless hours on screens, there is very little that we would change about it. As we begin to return to a new ‘normal’ we look forward to the opportunities in the next academic year and, whilst some uncertainty remains, what we can be sure of is that our amazingly resilient and enterprising pupils will continue to rise to the challenges ahead, whatever they may be.

Back to school … - by Keith B Morrow, Head Master, Hallfield School

I remember as a child, looking forward to the summer holidays, and being haunted by the “back to school” signs that appeared in shop windows before school had even broken up. I never appreciated that those words would continue to have significance for me as an adult too! In view of the disruption caused by the pandemic, children (and parents) may be anxious about returning to school. I thought I’d share a few tips to support a smooth transition for all. 1) Routine, Lack of preparation for school can cause children anxiety. Encouraging children to pack their bags for the next day is a helpful routine to establish. A timetable or visual planner as a reminder will support them in learning to organise themselves. 2) Independence! Children are capable of remarkable independence from an early age. As parents we tend to do things for our children because it seems easier or quicker. Ensure that younger children can dress themselves including changing into their PE kit. It’s always telling when children get changed for PE. Most try hard to dress themselves but some present themselves with arms outstretched, waiting for someone to

do it for them. Even older children can be disorganised when changing and sometimes take each other’s kit home by mistake. Thankfully this is usually rectified when name labels are sewn on.

Good luck to all children (and parents) when school returns again in September!

In the mornings young children are quite capable of hanging their own belongings on their peg. A quick good-bye kiss and encouragement to join the class line is all that is required. Prolonging the good-bye or hanging up belongings in the cloakroom for children does not support them in gaining independence. 3) Responsibility! At school children are encouraged to take responsibility. All children make mistakes and school is a safe and secure place to learn from them. Let children take responsibility by not making excuses for them. Encourage them to understand that actions have consequences, and that this is how we all learn. 4) Communication! Develop a constructive relationship with class teachers, giving positive comments as well as raising any concerns. Unless the matter is urgent it is probably best to speak with teachers at the end of the day. Raise any concerns promptly and endeavour not to save them for parents’ evenings. Most issues are easily resolved through discussion.

MODERN ENSUITE IN MOSELEY When working with ensuites it is sometimes a challenge to fit everything into the space, especially when the rooms are not a regular shape, as was the case for Mrs Main in Moseley.

The long narrow room has sloping ceilings and limited wall height, making it a challenge to create a modern ensuite and also have room for storage, a basin, a WC and a bidet.

We made the most of this former box room with some practical solutions to create a room that has a full size shower and is a pleasure to use. A pale grey colour scheme coordinates the floor, walls and furniture, creating a calm and relaxing air.

Tea and cake in the sculpture garden

Hooray for the summer and the easing of lockdown! We can at last go out into the world and enjoy tea and cake in the sunshine and have a mooch around a local art gallery and sculpture garden. Purple Gallery, located in the idyllic setting of leafy Bournville is definitely one to put on your radar. It has just been taken over by new owners Richard and Julia who have exciting plans for this well established independent gallery. The gallery is inclusive, open and friendly with a varied selection of paintings, prints, ceramics and jewellery as well as a variety of functional yet funky craft pieces and some truly amazing gift cards. The art is carefully selected by committee and sourced from local artists as well as from those around the UK and overseas.

Richard said: “We are delighted to open up the sculpture garden on summer weekends for teas, coffees and other refreshments and visitors are welcome to come and explore the work we have on show and simply soak up the atmosphere in a peaceful setting. “Throughout lockdown we have been been able to keep our doors open via our online presence but there is nothing quite like being able to explore the products and work physically. In the coming months we are planning to launch a calendar of exciting events so please keep an eye on our website for details. And in the meantime, come and see what delights we have in store for you here and why not make an occasion of it and bring a friend!”

FOOD & DRINK

POTATO GRATIN (FAUX)BEEF PIE INGREDIENTS 3 large potatoes 2 large carrots 2 large parsnips Beyond Meat Mince 1 onion Balsamic vinegar Olive oil

Salt Pepper Vegetable stock 1 tin tomatoes Italian herbs Fresh rosemary Honey 1 clove garlic

RECIPE 1. Set the oven to 190 degrees and place a roasting tray inside to heat up. 2. Peel and cut the carrots and parsnips into small chunks, put into a pan with water to boil for 10 -12 minutes. 3. Take the carrots and parsnips off the boil and strain. Put a plate over the top of your strainer and shake well, until the surfaces of the vegetables are fluffy and uneven. 4. Remove the tray from the oven and pour in a couple of tablespoons of olive oil, immediately put the carrots and parnsips in (there should be a sizzle!) and toss them in the oil. Season with salt and pepper, and a drizzle of honey, place back into the oven for 20 mins.

Goes well with a few vegan yorkshire puddings & some purple cabbage!

WE’RE ROOTING FOR YOU! It’s not easy being vegan. Even in today’s world where so many restaurants have made the effort to cater to a plethora of dietary needs! They try, but let’s face it, the vegan options don’t always sound like they were dreamt up by someone planning on being vegan themselves! So this root infused culinary delight is surely a welcome sight. And to top it off, this dish is so tasty it could fool any meat loving buttery based individual! So you can finally enjoy a hearty home made family feast without anyone feeling left out.

5. Peel and cut potatoes into long thin slices and place in a pan with water to boil for ten minutes. Once they are done, strain and set them aside. 6. Dice the onions and put into a frying pan with the beyond mince, a tablespoon of olive oil, and a generous coating of Italian herbs, salt and pepper. After 5 minutes add two tablespoons of balsamic vinager. Mince the garlic and add to the frying pan. 7. Boil the kettle and dissolve a vegetable stock cube into 200ml of boiling water. Add to the frying pan once the contents are nicely cooked through. Add half a tin of tomatoes and your roasted vegatables and leave to reduce for 10 to 15 mins. 9. Pour your pie mixture into an oven dish or skillet and place your potato slices on top, and drizzle olive oil over, season with salt and pepper and rosemary and put into the oven for 30 mins. 10. Remove from the oven and serve! Serves 3 - 4 people

LEGAL & FINANCIAL

Zoom or face to face? With the recent surge in Zoom meetings you’d be forgiven for thinking that everything can be done remotely now. But some things work best face to face and signing a will is way up there at the top of the list, says Judy Dyke of Tyndallwoods Solicitors in Edgbaston. Judy said: “Much of the preparation and background work can be done remotely, but we feel it is important to offer clients the opportunity to sign their wills in front of two members of our staff who act as witnesses. The staff make a capacity assessment and complete a check list, making the wills more robust against any later challenge. “We are seeing a huge increase in demand for this service, which is understandable at this uncertain time, and we’re fortunate to have the space to offer a safe environment for all of our clients and the most vulnerable in particular. “To meet the safety needs of our staff and clients we’ve been using the coach house, within the grounds of the main

building, to hold client meetings in a carefully controlled safe space. “Last summer we also set up two garden marquees to act as ‘Garden Offices’ to enable social distancing and benefit from being out in the fresh air and we’re doing the same this year. “We have developed and continually monitor and progress our response to Covid. “Our ability to offer a face to face service is particularly helpful for our matrimonial clients who benefit from our one-stop-shop offering which includes divorce, mediation, residential property conveyancing and wills. We aim to make what is often a painful and difficult process run as smoothly as possible.

“I would like clients to know that we have worked tirelessly to ensure we can offer them a good experience. They will still see their designated solicitor where possible and as appropriate in the transaction. We are seeing people face to face and have suitable accommodation for this.”
