Shireland Collegiate Academy is a large inner city secondary school located in Smethwick, Sandwell in the West Midlands. The academy has been providing quality education to students for over 25 years and has established itself as one of the leading schools in the region.
At Shireland Collegiate Academy, we believe that every student has the potential to achieve great things. Our mission is to empower our students with knowledge, skills and values that will enable them to succeed not only academically but also in their personal and professional lives.
Our curriculum is designed to provide a broad and balanced education that caters for the needs of all our students. We offer a wide range of subjects including English, Maths, Science, Humanities, Languages, Arts and Technology. Our teachers are highly qualified and experienced professionals who are passionate about teaching and committed to helping our students achieve their full potential.
We also offer a range of extra-curricular activities such as sports clubs, music lessons, drama productions and community service projects. These activities provide opportunities for our students to develop their talents outside the classroom and build strong relationships with their peers.
At Shireland Collegiate Academy we place great emphasis on technology-enhanced learning (TEL). We have developed an innovative TEL programme called "Learning Gateway" which provides our students with access to online resources such as e-books, videos tutorials and interactive quizzes. This programme enables us to deliver personalised learning experiences that cater for individual needs of each student.

In 2019-2020 academic year 70% of our GCSE pupils achieved grades 9-4 including English & Maths while at A-levels 100% of our students achieved A*-E grades.
We are also committed to providing a safe and supportive learning environment for our students. We have a dedicated pastoral team who provide guidance and support to our students on a range of issues such as mental health, bullying, and safeguarding.
