History
In May 2023, the school received a rating of "good"[2] from Ofsted, maintaining its rating of "Good"[2] from the previous short-inspection in 2022. The report concluded that "Pupils are happy and considerate at Kings Heath..." and "Leaders have constructed a broad and ambitious curriculum. This has inspired subject leaders to skilfully design subject curriculums."[2]
In July 2023, following consultation, the school announced the decision to become a co-educational (boys and girls) school beginning in September 2024.[3] Improvement works were completed in September 2023 to add the necessary facilities to welcome girls into the school and enhance facilities across the board.
Kings Heath Secondary is a Trauma Informed Attachment Aware School (TIAAS) and has been awarded the Silver TIAAS certification.[4]
In 2023, the school's Arts programme was recognised with a Silver ArtsMark award.[5]
