I really enjoyed my time here, i was made to feel really welcome when i joined in the sixth form. The staff were willing to spend extra time going over work when you dont understand it and they have excellent extra curriculum activities

Everything will most likely be halal as the chool is like 98% of the lovely Muslim community.

Sandwell Academy opened in 2006 and is home 1200 students. The Academy's specialist subjects are…read moreSport, Business and ICT. And interestingly the Academy is sponsored by Tarmac, the Mercers Company, Thomas Telford School, HSBC Education Trust and West Bromwich Albion Football Club. Students have state of the art facilities and having seen the facilities myself, they are pretty impressive. Sandwell Academy also has a Sixth Form and the aim of the Academy is to maximise student performance in all its forms. A lot of emphasis is placed on Sport, Business and ICT however the Academy do offer a broad curriculum. I wish I had state of the art facilities when I was at Sixth Form and High School. From top to bottom I am impressed with the Academy. I did have friends who went to the Academy and they themselves were full of praise for Sandwell Academy.

Now known as Harborne Academy and boasting a rather fetching grey and red uniform that makes the…read morekids who attend it look very smart indeed (even if they do play up at the bus-stop) the school is one of Birmingham's newest academies which specialises in health and science. Independent of local authority control, the school is sponsored by Birmingham Metropolitan College and has recently extended its cohort to 16-18 year olds. Whilst the most recent Ofsted inspection reported mixed results - and I won't go into that here because all the information you need can be found using a quick Google search (plus as someone who used to work in education, just typing the word Ofsted gives me a sweaty neck) the place does seem to be on the up. Community involvement seems key - with initiatives including a play on local history run in conjunction with Harborne Library.

These days the word "Acadamy" means that anyone can teach, they don't even need qualifications, even I could get a job there! (and I was the worse pupil HHSMS ever had,) yet because I am now profound in my area of expertise I would be allowed to teach, I'm not just picking on one school, all acadamy's are the same, so if you want your children to get an education don't send them to an acadamy send them to a proper SCHOOL.

King Edward VI Handsworth School is a girls School and because I play for Indian Sports Cricket…read moreClub, playing here is more or less our home ground. I am also aware there are other cricket clubs that use this ground. I have to say I have never been disappointed playing here and the sports facilities are pretty good. This place does hold some good cricketing memories for me and I do enjoy playing at this ground. The kitchen facilities that is situated near the sports ground at King Edward is pretty good. The room next to the kitchen is where my team and the opposition have our tea and it is of decent size. My friends who also play for Indian Sports say they enjoy playing their cricket here. The changing rooms are clean and so are the toilets. Showers can be hit and miss at times. Sometimes the water can be cold or sometimes it can be warm. Which is why I tend to have a shower at home. One annoying thing is the fact there are deep bushes on one side of the ground. So if a ball does get hit for six and goes in the direction of the bushes, you could be searching for that ball for quite some time.
