Harborne Hill School

Now known as Harborne Academy and boasting a rather fetching grey and red uniform that makes the kids 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.

Unfortunately this is not a school i would recommend if you actually want to get an education.

This is a lottery funded school that has been developed really well by actually being positioned on a hill and consisting of large windows to give a spectacular view of the Harborne surroundings. There is enough playing space and the school is just minutes away from the town high street so would be great to get some shopping, eating done at lunch times conveniently.
