  • Tamworth Castle

    Published 21/06/23

    Year 7 had a wonderful time visiting Tamworth Castle.  They enjoyed exploring, starting in the Great Hall and armoury.  They even got to hold replica items of armoury and feel just how heavy a helmet with chain mail was.  Some of the Staffordshire Hoard was on display, and we were wowed by learning that the value of the whole hoard, found in a field by a metal detectorist, was over 3 million pounds!.  As it was such a beautiful day the learners enjoyed running off a bit of energy in the park outside the castle afterwards and some got to practice their independence skills by buying themselves an ice-cream in the park café.

    On June 20th a selection of our pupils competed in the National Deaf Schools Five-aside tournament.  This annual event was being held for the first time at the amazing St George’s Park, the home of the National team. Braidwood had five different teams competing, with the Senior Boys A team and Junior Boys A team coming extremely close to competing in the final.

    The weather on the day was awful, with torrential rain making playing conditions very tricky.  All of the players from Braidwood tried their hardest and made us proud.  Well done everyone.
