Previously a community school administered by Birmingham City Council, the school converted to academy status on 1 January 2010 and is now sponsored by E-ACT.[2] However North Birmingham Academy continues to coordinate with Birmingham City Council for admissions. The school moved into new buildings in 2013.[3]
North Birmingham Academy offers GCSEs and BTECs as programmes of study for pupils, while students in the sixth form have the option to study from a range of A-levels and further BTECs.[4] The school had specialisms in English and the arts before the specialist school programme was scrapped by the coalition government in 2010.[5]
The school was founded as Perry Common Comprehensive School and was also known as College High School for several years.
