Solihull Academy is a free school, opening in April 2018, catering for up to 110 Year 9 -11 pupils that will ensure all students across the Local Authority have access to a high-quality alternative educational provision. 

Situated in Solihull, just minutes off junction 4 of the M42, the new alternative provision Academy will provide a safe, well-ordered, caring and highly supportive learning environment that will deliver high-quality education to students who need a more closely- focused learning solution. The use of outstanding, inspiring teaching and clear, consistent guidance and support will play a pivotal role in helping each child fulfil their maximum potential for growth, self-worth, and self-control. Our students will benefit from small class sizes where an emphasis will be placed on a personalised approach to learning.
