I attended this school many (many, many!) years ago. It was a great place to be. There are two…read moreplaygrounds with plenty of space to play, a garden in one of the playgrounds which had steps leading up to it acting as seats. There was also a separate garden in the back which had a pond where we would catch tadpoles for assignments and measure the temperature and check wind direction! The dinners were not the best, but they were better than what I had to endure during secondary school! Most of the teachers were great with the odd exception. The school was split into 4 teams: lions, leopards, tigers and I can't remember the 4th! The team with the most points at the end of term used to get a prizemy team never seemed to win! When I attended, uniform was optional but I believe it is now compulsory for all pupils to wear the uniform. From outside the place seems to have changed little.

This school failed at safeguarding with my sister.

Three meetings with child services were attempted which the school representatives simply did not show up to. After this the teacher in question felt it necessary to contact my mother directly and demand that she be allowed INTO HER HOUSE to talk about the problem. I'm assuming that anyone reading this cares about the safety of their children, so it would be of use to know that the school does not!

As a student that went to this school, all I can say is that I absolutely loved every second of…read morebeing a part of it. If only I could go back and do it all over again! Everything about this school makes it what it is, from the teachers, to the location, to the other girls that attended there. Yes, you will have a few teachers that you will ridiculously despise and others you will completely adore. Either way they will help you grow into a young adult by sharing advice laughs and cries with you the whole way through secondary school. If you chose to attend this school, I would highly recommend not to wish away the years because you will deeply regret it once you leave. You will make amazing friends that will stay with you through so many years. I would definitely choose Kings Norton Girls school for my own daughter.
