On Saturday 30th January EHS hosted a 135th Anniversary Lunch to begin a year of celebrations to mark the long and illustrious history of the School, the oldest independent girls' school in Birmingham.

About ninety Old Girls and Staff gathered for what proved to be a most enjoyable day. There was much catching up of news over coffee and the opportunity to explore the Westbourne Road site (which for many Old Girls is still ‘new'!). Guests were able to discover the additions to School life that have been made over the years and to witness, first hand, the exciting new building project.
This multi million pound project is going to provide a new library for Senior School and new facilities for the sixth form girls. A fitness suite will also be created from what was a car parking area.

A delicious hot buffet lunch was provided and gave another relaxed opportunity to catch up with old friends. Then, to mark the school birthday, a cake decorated with the school crest was cut and enjoyed with a cup of tea.

Mementoes of EHS and its history were also on sale and these are now available to view and purchase on the School's website, please click here for details.

This birthday lunch was a most enjoyable way to mark the progress and success of the school.
