Since 2011, King Edward VI Handsworth School has held academy status. There are 1287 pupils aged 11-18 on the school roll, 350 of whom are in the sixth form.
The school was founded in 1911 by the merger of three pre-existing schools. Designed by architect PB Chatwin, King Edward VI Handsworth School then cost the very high figure of £50,000 to build.

A neighbouring church has been transformed into its music centre. The long-running school magazine is known as The Beacon.
