I am delighted to welcome you to Washwood Heath Academy - a thriving All-through school in the heart of the local community. Washwood Heath Academy offers a rich, stimulating and rewarding learning environment for students aged 4 - 18. Washwood Heath Academy is an oversubscribed All-through school educating children from EYFS to Sixth Form.
Our new purpose built primary school facility was opened in March 2019 and provides a fantastic teaching and learning environment for our younger pupils. Visitors to the school are always impressed by the high standards in lessons and around the Academy and how welcoming and polite our young people are.
We expect students to achieve the very best they can within a friendly and welcoming setting, underpinned by our HEARTS ethos and family atmosphere. Washwood Heath inspires its students to strive for and reach their full potential, no matter what their abilities or talents.
