EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time at the Tennal Approved School in Birmingham during the 1940s. The Tennal Approved School, formerly known as Harborne School, was a children's home and care institution that provided welfare services to orphans and other vulnerable children. In this image, a group of boys can be seen engaged in their daily exercise routine, demonstrating the importance of physical activity and overall wellbeing in their care. Exercise was an essential part of the daily routine at the Tennal Approved School, as it helped to promote good health, boost morale, and provide structure and discipline. The boys, dressed in simple uniforms, line up in an orderly fashion, each holding a wooden stick or using a rope for various exercises. Their focused expressions and determined postures convey a sense of unity and determination, as they follow the instructions of their supervisor, who stands at the front of the group. The photograph offers a poignant glimpse into the daily life of children in care during the 1940s, a time when the welfare state was expanding to meet the needs of those affected by the Second World War. The Tennal Approved School, like many similar institutions, played a vital role in providing a safe and nurturing environment for orphaned and vulnerable children, helping to ensure their physical, emotional, and social development. This image serves as a reminder of the essential role that care services and institutions continue to play in supporting children and young people, especially during times of crisis and adversity.
