Holyhead School in Handsworth, Birmingham joined the RSA Family of Academies in September 2014.  The school has a longstanding reputation for ‘succeeding against the odds’ despite serving one of the most deprived electoral wards in the UK.
Holyhead became one of the country’s first Training Schools in 2002; a Specialist Business and Enterprise College in 2004, a Foundation School in 2006 and an 11-19 school in 2010 having established Sixth Form provision on site for the first time.  Holyhead converted to an Academy in August 2011.
