Revision as of 16:30, 7 April 2006
Handsworth Grammar School is a voluntary aided secondary school located in Handsworth, Birmingham, England. It is a non-denominational boy's school and selects pupils at the age of 11 on the basis of performance in intelligence-style tests, as is the fashion in most British Grammar schools. There are 800-900 students in attendance annually. 43% of the students are from homes where English is not the first language; other main spoken languages are Punjabi and Urdu. The headteacher is Mr. R. J. Shephard M.A.
Unusually, the computing department at the school uses only open source or free software , including Linux, and a Wiki is used for online communication of information between staff and pupils.
The school's badge features a representation of the Zig Zag bridge of 1711, which spans the River Tame at nearby Perry Barr.
