Secondary School : Part TWO The Earls

[Listening to: Last Rendez-Vous - Jean Michel Jarre - Aero (05:08)]

Last night was the turn of "The Earls" school in Halesowen to host prospective year 6 pupils and parents. Like Hillcrest, the school buildings and facilities were well presented and a good case was made in an excellent speech by the headmaster, unlike Hillcrest - this is a mixed school.

Music and Drama facilities were good, they are a "Performing Arts College" teaching Drama and Dance up to A Level, computers were generally quite good spec and well networked, they even offer the option of taking MSCA alongside GCSE's in Computing!!

It's now up to Amy to decide which of these two schools she would prefer to go to, the 3rd option being Leasows school. This is the nearest school, but the condition of the facilities are a disgrace, the pupils seemed surley and uninterested on the tour and the exam results are, quite frankly, poor.
