2025 has been a landmark year for the University of Birmingham School.
We have been thrilled to play a part in the University’s 125th anniversary celebrations, including the recent festive light show on campus, which showcased the pioneering and innovative research undertaken by academics that is impacting lives locally, nationally, and globally.
This year also marks a significant milestone of our own as we celebrate ten years since opening our doors to pupils and students in 2015. Over the past decade, we are immensely proud to have welcomed more than 3,400 pupils and students into our School community.
To help us stay connected with pupils and students after they leave UoBS, we have launched a new alumni network and have been busy collecting memories from our graduates, many of whom have been sharing updates about their journeys since leaving school. These stories bring us great joy and pride, and we have enjoyed sharing them with our current pupils and students during enrichment sessions and on displays around the School.
To commemorate our first decade, we have taken photographs of each year group and members of staff with a view to creating a picture montage in School. We hope pupils and students have enjoyed being part of this special moment in the School’s history.
We were delighted to welcome back a number of alumni to UoBS to present, take part in school events, and to share their journey with us to inspire our current pupils and students.
As part of our birthday celebrations, we have created a special ‘Celebrating Ten Years of University of Birmingham School’ book showcasing our journey so far. You can also head over to our LinkedIn page to see a few snapshots of our alumni, their reflections of their time at UoBS, and the varied pathways they have taken over the years.
