Lot #1Outstanding schools have a burning desire to get the best possible deal for children…Awarded 5 yrsPublished value£800,000

Outstanding schools have a burning desire to get the best possible deal for children in every respect. They are places where the culture of achievement runs deep with clear vision in their commitments and wording that all the students work towards, throughout the academic year.

At Kings Heath Boys we have high expectations for all our students and we continually 'strive for excellence'. Our aim is to foster a happy, caring environment where students feel nurtured and safe to achieve the very best that they can. We are a stimulating, caring and diverse school with strong partnerships between the school, its students, their families, and the local community. Our students flourish because they feel supported, encouraged, and enthused by all around them.

We have high standards for students regarding attendance, punctuality, attitudes to learning and their willingness to take an active role in school life. This is testament to the wonderful staff at the school who strive to provide the highest quality teaching and learning, wider learning opportunities and individualised pastoral care.

We are delighted that from September 2024, we will be enrolling both boys and girls to our school as we become Kings Heath Secondary School. We have completed a great deal of work on our site and our curriculum to ensure that this is successful and that we continue to provide an excellent education to all of our students who will benefit from our excellent academic and pastoral provision.

Our ambitious curriculum prepares students for academic success and for life beyond school, whilst being balanced and appropriate to the individual needs of our learners.

Our values sit at the heart of our curriculum and empower each child to develop the attitudes and characteristics to thrive in every aspect of their lives. Our students strive for excellence in all aspects of life, becoming active participants in the school community, ready for the next stage of their education.

Leaders at all levels ensure that the school provides educational provision to the highest standard, having a positive impact on all students.
