Local Schools can read about Park History

We have been very pleased to present signed copies of the new book, "The Heydays of Selly Oak Park", which records the early history of the Park, to the following local schools:

St Mary's Church of England Primary (Lodge Hill Rd)
St Edward's Catholic Primary (Selly Park)
Tiverton Primary (Tiverton Rd)
Raddlebarn Primary (Gristhorpe Rd)
Watermill Primary (Water Mill Close)
Cherry Oak School (Frederick Rd)

The first four of these schools are mentioned in the book; the last two are newer schools, opened since 1911. Northfield Manor Primary School (Swarthmore Rd) also received a book - they have taken part in our Annual Festival football competition. Dame Elizabeth Cadbury Technology College was also presented with a book, acknowledging the Cadbury connection with the park. Mrs. Emma Gibbins, who with her sons donated the Park to the district in 1899, was a member of the Cadbury family.

  3. Local schools could really use a look at how Park History sort of ties in with the communitys growth over time, like not just in theory but in how people actually lived. It makes local heritage feel way more tangible for students when they can just point to it, in real places, and get a clearer sense of what happened there. Also, this kind of learning nudges students to go past textbooks, you know, and connect history with the ordinary spaces they see every day. A funny extra thing, while I was researching academic resources, I ran into discussions about Contract Law Dissertation Topics, which kind of shows how broad and specialized legal studies become once you dig in deeper. So overall, when local history gets blended with structured academic research, learning can feel both more engaging and more practical, not only abstract.
