Bournville School and sixth form centre is a secondary school with academy status, a Specialist Business and Enterprise College and Music College status, for students aged 11–19, in Bournville, Birmingham in the United Kingdom.
Bournville is a friendly learning community school set in the leafy suburb of Bournville in Birmingham. The school encourages students to fulfil their potential both academically and socially in order to maximise their opportunities in their adult lives. The school has around 1000 pupils currently on the roll, including a sixth form of around 120 students. The sixth form provision is offered as part of The Oaks Sixth Form, a consortium of seven secondary schools in South-West Birmingham.
The School became an Academy School on 1 November 2014 under the sponsorship of The Fairfax Multi Academy Trust (FMAT)Fairfax School is also in the same MAT.
Before Bournville became a comprehensive school in the 1970s it was previously two sibling grammar schools: Bournville Girls Grammar School and Bournville Grammar-Technical School For Boys, previously known as Bournville Boys Technical School. The technical school for boys, the city's first technical school, opened in October 1955. The technical school later combined with the girls' grammar school on the same site, and its current full title is Bournville School and Sixth Form Centre: a Business, Enterprise and Music College.
Originally designed and built as two separate schools, the first to be opened was Bournville Girls' Grammar School adjacent to the A38 Bristol Road South south of Bournville village in autumn 1954, housed in a modern building.
One year later, in September 1955, Bournville Boys' Technical School was also opened at the top end of the same site, together with the separate and brand new two-storey dining room and a purpose-built technical block between the two school buildings. The twin schools shared the main playing field, with timetables arranged so that activities of the two schools did not clash. The tennis courts were under the control of the girls' school and were not available to the boys' school, except by special arrangement at the weekends.
