West House School’s ‘Millennium Babies’ have triumphed in a year of unprecedented competition.

Some 20 offers have been made to Year 6 leavers by two of Birmingham’s leading independent schools - King Edward’s School, Edgbaston and Solihull School - and a further 11 boys have accepted places at Birmingham’s grammar schools.

Akil Khalid heads the Roll of Honour with a scholarship to King Edward’s School. With a number of academic scholarships offered at other local independent schools and Oscar Lyttle gaining a music scholarship to Old Swinford Hospital, the school has continued its record of outstanding achievement.

Headmaster Alistair Lyttle said: “We are delighted with this year’s results, which reflect the hard work and dedication of both our staff and pupils, in a year that has seen more candidates than ever before competing for places.

“We would also like to congratulate Sarna Sharma who won a Bronze Medal in the national Mathematics Association Challenge which received over 100,000 entries.”
