About

On behalf of the children, staff, and governors, I would like to warmly welcome you to Devonshire Academies website. I hope that it gives you an insight in to what life is like in our school, some of the opportunities available to your child as well as some key information. We are a large primary school located in Smethwick and we are part of the Victoria Academies Trust.

The schools are is privileged to be set in the middle of an extensive green field site with a spacious building that gives our pupils the opportunity to experience a variety of different learning environments. It is our belief that all children should experience a high quality purposeful, diverse learning that immerses them fully and we are very proud of our curriculum offer.

Our Trust values aim to develop well rounded children who are resilient and ready to make a positive contribution to the world we live in. We want to work with parents and carers so that their children grow in to life-long learners with a positive attitude and share their successes at Devonshire. We are happy to answer any further questions you may have.

In the school’s own words, from the school website.
