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.

Formerly known as Menzies High School, Phoenix Collegiate (South Campus) is situated on Clarkes…read moreLane in West Bromwich. The North Campus is based in Wednesbury on Friar Park Road. Phoenix Collegiate (South Campus) is a School/College for 11-19 year olds and the College itself offers a broad curriculum of subjects for students. The Collegiate aims to be a high performing local school and serve the community. The school has been developed in recent years but improvements can still be made in my view. But one plus is the new Learning Resource Centre building. Having been given a tour of the building when I was looking for a Sixth Form to join, I have to say it was impressive. The facilities are improving and at least 45% of pupils achieved 5 or more A*-C grades last year so things are on the up for Phoenix Collegiate.

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.
