curriculum – all phases
As part of their commemoration events for Holocaust Memorial Day, Solihull School will be hosting the British Premiere of Condemned to Remember – a highly acclaimed film depicting the journey of Holocaust survivor Tomi Reichental across Europe. Here he meets survivors of the Srebrenecia genocide and shows how racism is once again on the rise in Europe and how we should all be aware of its dreadful scenarios.
In last week’s Head Lines we shared details with you of events to commemorate Holocaust Memorial Day. We are now able to provide further details regarding an invitation from Solihull School and Remembering Srebrenica to all schools with secondary age children within the borough to attend a very special event. On the 26th January they will be hosting the British premiere of the highly acclaimed documentary Condemned to Remember. For details of how to book on this event, please see letter below.

Enthuse partnerships works with groups of 4-8 schools and colleges to develop a bespoke 2-year action plan which includes teacher CPD and free resources. Each partnership receives £10,000 per year over 2 years (£20,000 total).
The focus of the project should be STEM related and each partnership will be supported by a STEM coach.
This is a great opportunty for Solihull schools to work together to develop areas of maths, science, computing and engineering. Enthuse partnerships have worked with groups of schools focusing on, for example, improving engagement in mathematics for passive girls and are currently keen to work with groups of schools wishing to develop an interleaving, connected curriulum.
For further information contact SEIS senior education improvement adviser, Donna Wright (donnawright@solihull.gov.uk).
Please see the attached invitations for further details about these two exciting events:
Tuesday 24 September – you and/or interested colleagues are invited to Solihull school along with a group of students (secondary) for a unique event about the extraordinary life story of Eva Schloss. Eva will take part in a Q&A after a performance of and then they came for me, a critically acclaimed play about her remarkable family history and an exhibition, the promise, about the artistic talents her brother Heinz cultivated whilst hiding from the Nazis for two years. It is the first time the play and the exhibition will be shown together.
Wednesday 25 September – CPD day for colleagues (KS2/secondary) nationwide on tackling prejudice and discrimination in a digital age: what can schools do? As well as incorporating three events of the programme outlined above, the day will also involve a series of prominent speakers and organisations who will cover a broad range of contemporary topics, whilst providing practical advice and measure for teachers interested in developing such initiatives in their own schools.
Further information about the programme can be found in the attached flyer, with more specific details to follow in due course.
