New year, new catalogues! This week we’ve uploaded lists for @HandsworthGS, @KEVIHandsworth, @KEVIHWGA and @KESHAcademy, meaning over two thirds of the @kevifoundation school collections are available to browse and search here: kevi.epexio.com 📷 Page from SH/G3/1
As another busy year in the archive draws to a close, we’d like to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a peaceful break over the holidays🎄 📷Christmas cards designed by @KEVIHandsworth students in the 1970s, ref HWG/M/7/1.
We had a great time coming up with some of these - the 12 days of @kevifoundation Christmas(ish) viewing 🎄🎅

For #UKDisabilityHistoryMonth, we reflect on the journey of former @KEHSBham & @KEVIHandsworth student Hilary Pole. Despite losing almost all movement, she adapted technology to write poetry and become an editor. KEHS now awards the Hilary Pole Prize, celebrating perseverance.
We've been enjoying the snow in Edgbaston today and thought we'd share this photograph of @KESBham boys playing rugby against Cardiff High School (@officialCHS) in the mid 20th century ❄️
This Armistice Day we're honouring those who served. This photo from the archive shows soldiers lining up for inspection at @KESBham in 1914 before being deployed to the battlefields of World War One. How will you be remembering those who served? #LestWeForget #Remembrance #WWI
Its #Halloween and what does every spooky season need? Skeletons! This photograph was taken from a production of the Wizard of Oz in 1978 at @KEVIHandsworth. Not sure what the joke was, but it looks like a....rib-tickler! #ExploreYourArchive #Halloween2024
Did you know October is #FamilyHistoryMonth? If you're doing genealogical research and think your ancestor might've attended one of the King Edward VI schools, get in touch! We have records that may be able to help, such as admission cards, school magazines and photographs.
Programme for @KEVICHB staff vs students charity football match with caricatures of the staff. Proceeds went to the World Refugee Year initiative, June 1959-June 1960, set up by the UN to raise awareness of the plight of refugees around the world. #InternationalDayofCharity
It’s #BackToSchool this week for the @kevifoundation schools. Welcome to the new Year 7s and we hope all students and staff are ready for a new school year. 📷 @KEFWschool year 7 form photograph with Mr Turnbull, 1935-1936, complete with names!
Wishing all KEVI students lots of luck and support today as they receive their GCSE results 🤞 #ResultsDay 📷 Summary of art exam results for the @kevifoundation schools in 1886, ref KES/F/1/1.
We wonder if any of our students have submitted a job application as eye-catching as this one over the summer holidays? This poem with illustrations was sent by @KESHAcademy student to Rackhams department store in 1978! #PoetsDay
Have you been inspired by the Olympics in Paris? We're celebrating KEHS sports history! @KEVIBhamArchive 🏅📸 Check out this amazing photo of our netball team winning a trophy in 1924, the same year Paris last hosted the Games. 🏆🇫🇷
Have you been inspired by the Olympics in Paris? 🇫🇷 We're taking a trip down memory lane with some sports photos from our archive, dating back to 1900 and 1924 - years when Paris also hosted the Olympics.🏃🏈🏏 @KEVIBhamArchive
We recently came across this logbook by Irene Ward, art teacher @KEVIHandsworth, detailing her trip around Italy and France in 1954. Ward took a sabbatical term for the trip having received a grant from the Harrison Barrow Trust Fund #EYAJourneys #ExploreYourArchive
Make friends, make friends, never ever break friends 🤞 Photographs of @KEVIHandsworth students kept by Dorothy Hilda Burford, OE 1927-1933 #InternationalDayOfFriendship
A silver medal is no bad thing, in fact in this case it meant 1st place in diving for H. F. Paterson, @KEVICHB student 1909-1913 [item ref CHB/S/1/5] #Diving #Olympics #Paris2024
