Holyhead School is a mixed secondary school and sixth form located in the Handsworth area of Birmingham, in the West Midlands of England.[1]
Previously a foundation school administered by Birmingham City Council, Holyhead School converted to academy status in August 2011. The school became part of the RSA Academies Trust in September 2014,[2] but continues to coordinate with Birmingham City Council for admissions for its Year 7 intake.
The school had also recently obtained "outstanding" status from Ofsted, being recognised for its "outstanding attainment in Mathematics".[3] The school's continuing achievements in Mathematics had also recently been further recognised when the department had been nominated for the "TES Maths department of the Year 2015/16" award.[4]
Holyhead School offers GCSEs and BTECs as programmes of study for pupils, while students in the sixth form have the option to study from a range of A-levels and further BTECs.[5]
