Turves Green Boys' School is a secondary school in the West Heath area of Birmingham, England. It is approximately 80 years old. The school is an all-boys school which previously held Technology College and Humanities College status. It received Technology College status in 1995.[1]

The OFSTED inspection report of 2019 rated the school as ‘Inadequate’ and placed the school in special measures. The Board of Governors was dismissed in February 2020 and an Interim Executive Board was installed with view to preparing the school for academisation.

The school was formerly under local authority control but was directed to convert to an academy status in May 2021. The DFE directed the school to join the Matrix Academy Trust. The trust decided to keep the former name of the school and installed Mr James Till as the new, founding Headteacher. As a new academy the school is yet to be inspected by OFSTED and therefore has no official judgment.[2]

The 1960s chart topping band The Rockin' Berries first formed while several members were pupils at Turves Green Boys’ School.[citation needed]

Lewis Goodall, former BBC journalist, was a pupil at Turves Green Boys’ School. [citation needed]
