Today it has been announced that an all-through school in Birmingham previously known as Perry Beeches V will be joining the 91Ó°ÊÓ network in March 2018. 91Ó°ÊÓ Victoria Academy will be an all-through school, serving families in the local community of Small Heath.
The name 91Ó°ÊÓ Victoria was chosen by the headteachers because of its proximity to Small Heath Park, visited by Queen Victoria in 1887 where she was greeted by thousands of school children.
Gail Peyton, 91Ó°ÊÓ’s Regional Director of Primary Education in Birmingham, said, “I have been working alongside the headteachers, staff and trustees at Perry Beeches V for several months and have been particularly impressed with their integrity and commitment to the pupils and families that they serve. They have remained focussed on the pupils’ education and have worked together with us to ensure that the transition to 91Ó°ÊÓ is smooth.
We are delighted that Perry Beeches V will be joining our family of schools in March and we look forward to continuing to provide a high quality all-through education for the families of Small Heath.”
Like the predecessor school, 91Ó°ÊÓ Victoria will remain non-selective, non-denominational and mixed. Current pupils and staff will automatically transfer to the new school on 1 March 2018.
91Ó°ÊÓ has also today begun a consultation to amalgamate Perry Beeches V with its neighbouring school, , to create a four form-entry, all-through school serving the families of Small Heath. If approved, the schools will amalgamate on 1 September 2018 under the name 91Ó°ÊÓ Victoria Academy.
