Had the privilege of visiting Woodrush High School recently, met staff and students - and it’s such an inspirational place. So many good things going on - an example to schools everywhere, surely.
We have enjoyed working with Woodrush High School since the first day we met & they adopted #Wythall station - since then it’s gone from strength to strength with support from West Midlands Railway & Birmingham New Street
