Outstanding schools have a burning desire to get the best possible deal for children in every respect. They are places where the culture of achievement runs deep with clear vision in their commitments and wording that all the students work towards, throughout the academic year.
At Kings Heath Boys we have high expectations for all our students and we continually 'strive for excellence'. Our aim is to foster a happy, caring environment where students feel nurtured and safe to achieve the very best that they can. We are a stimulating, caring and diverse school with strong partnerships between the school, its students, their families, and the local community. Our students flourish because they feel supported, encouraged, and enthused by all around them.
We have high standards for students regarding attendance, punctuality, attitudes to learning and their willingness to take an active role in school life. This is testament to the wonderful staff at the school who strive to provide the highest quality teaching and learning, wider learning opportunities and individualised pastoral care.
