Lunchtime Concert
On Tuesday 8th July, James Watt Primary School had a visit from Rekesh, who came to play a lunchtime concert for our staff and pupils. It was an incredibly inspiring day that will live long in the memories of our school community. We really hope we can use this experience to raise the aspirations of our pupils and maybe plant the seed for some new musical talent to grow out of Handsworth.
