The report concluded that "Pupils are happy and considerate at Kings Heath..." and "Leaders have constructed a broad and ambitious curriculum. This has inspired subject leaders to skilfully design subject curriculums."[2]
In July 2023, following consultation, the school announced the decision to become a co-educational (boys and girls) school beginning in September 2024.[3] Improvement works were completed in September 2023 to add the necessary facilities to welcome girls into the school and enhance facilities across the board.
