We had an amazing time as Guide dogs joined us for a sponsored walk around the school grounds! The children loved interacting with these lovely dogs, learning about their roles and responsibilities. It was a fantastic experience that brought everyone together in a fun and educational way!

Our friends of the  Brier organised an exciting Easter egg hunt around the school for the children. Laughter and joy filled the air as little ones searched high and low for hidden eggs, making it a truly memorable day filled with fun and festive spirit!

We had the Mayor in school, and it was such an exciting day! The Mayor came to see the school and the children, chatting with us all and hearing about our projects. It was fantastic to have such an important visitor.

We had a fantastic Oral Health Day at school! The Oral Health Team popped in to chat with the children about keeping those pearly whites clean and healthy. They shared tips, fun activities, and even some cool sensory tooth cleaning packs  giveaways. Everyone left with big smiles and loads of useful information. Remember to clean your teeth twice a day.

Consultation Q&A

We had a fantastic time at the Christmas wreath competition, judged by our lovely friends of the Brier - FOB. Classes brought their creativity to the fore, showcasing stunning designs. It was a joyful celebration of the festive spirit, with laughter and cheer all around.

In preparation for the Harvest Festival, the children in our classes had a fantastic time creating their very own scarecrows for a friendly competition. Each one was unique, showcasing their creativity and teamwork. It was a wonderful way to celebrate the season. The scarecrows were then judged by our Friends of The Brier.

The children had a fantastic time learning about road safety with the Road Safety Team! They enjoyed the Bike ability sessions, where they picked up essential skills for riding their bikes safely on the roads. It’s great to see them so engaged and confident on two wheels!

On Thursday 11^th April, our pupils at The Brier were visited by some real-life superheroes from some of our local emergency services as part of our Superhero Day. We were fortunate to receive visits from West Midlands Air Ambulance, British Red Cross and St Johns Ambulance. Throughout the day the pupils learnt important lifesaving skills, and how these different services can help them when they are in an emergency.  It was a fantastic opportunity for the pupils to board some of these emergency vehicles and experience what it is like to be an emergency services worker. 

As part of the event The Brier School received a visit from a journalist at the Express and Star who covered the event in an article (click here to see the article in full) and also a video (click here to view video).
