Project Background: The complex is one of the first university training schools in the UK, a 'lab school' initiative modelled on similar projects in Finland and the US where innovative educational ideas are trialled.
As well as providing a broad academic curriculum, the university training school provides initial and ongoing teacher training and research into improving educational practice.
The school also accommodates 750 11 to 16-year-old pupils and a further 400 at the sixth form college, it's free to attend and admissions are open to children from different areas across Birmingham, half of which will come from Selly Oak.
