Changes Recap

This past year has been a significant one, lots of planning, lots of preparation and lots of restructuring. Please read on to learn about the changes that have taken place.

New Students

We are delighted to now be a co-educational school, welcoming both boys and girls. 

In July 2023, following consultation, we announced the decision to become co-educational and immediately began improvement works, policy changes and all the behind-the-scenes planning necessary to welcome girls into the school.

After a busy year, we are pleased to announce that we are able to accommodate both boys and girls, beginning with year 7 in Autumn 2024.

New Name

As of 1st September 2024, we are now officially Kings Heath Secondary (KHS).

This name was chosen to represent both our desire to welcome girls into our school community and our continued commitment to providing a high-quality education for all. 

We are proud to represent and serve the Kings Heath community and want to be the first choice for families in the area.

 

New Values

We are pleased to announce our updated Kings Heath Values of Belonging, Aspiration & Respect. We believe that these values embody the spirit of our former core values and will be key to all that we hope to achieve over the next few years.

The new Kings Heath Values were chosen in partnership with the student body and are woven into everything we do here at Kings Heath Secondary. We look forward to Raising the Bar together.

New Look

To mark these significant changes our brand has also undergone a major overhaul. If you take a look around our website or physical site you will see a new logo, new motto, new school colours, new uniforms and more.

As with the other changes, this is an evolution, building on the excellent core that we already had.

You will notice that the shield, crown and navy blue you already know have all been retained, just updated for a fresh, professional aesthetic in keeping with this new chapter.
 

New Website

You may have also noticed our new website. The classic but modern look reflects both our high standards and our intention to retain all that has made this a wonderful school as we continue to move forward.

Thank you to our design agency Cleverbox for their excellent work on this brand and website revamp.

We hope you will find the new website to be an intuitive and informative window to the school.

Same Promise

Alot has changed and our community is evolving, but our core commitments to our students and community remain the same.

As always, our priority is to create a safe environment that promotes inclusivity, well-being, aspiration, achievement, and development of character. The staff here at Kings Heath Secondary remain committed to providing a high-quality education for our students.
