Washwood Heath Academy is an all through school located in the Washwood Heath ward of Birmingham, England. [1] Originally known as Washwood Heath Comprehensive School, it opened in September 1967. It was extended in 1996 to make way for the Post-16 centre. The school became a specialist Technology College and was renamed Washwood Heath Technology College.
In 2013 Washwood Heath Technology College was converted into an academy and renamed Washwood Heath Academy.
David Harewood, an ex-pupil, made a documentary about turning a group of Washwood Heath pupils into Shakespearean actors in five days. [2]
