The school will be dedicated to the pursuit of excellence, where the faith of every child is positively nurtured and children of all faiths and none are respected and supported. In the longer term we would like to open a new secondary centre to create an all through school for children aged 3-16 and will be preparing proposals for the Department of Education to consider. We hope if all goes well and all the planning can be completed in time to open this part of the school from September 2012. Nishkam School will offer pupils more than academic excellence, by promoting a passion for life-long learning and enquiry, both within the classroom and beyond, whether on the sports field or out in the community and wider society. Recruiting outstanding teachers, the School will create character building experiences which value each child?s uniqueness, while promoting strict yet compassionate discipline.

Choosing the right school for your child is one of the most important decisions you will ever have to make. We hope that the prospectus will give you insight into the what we work and what we offer. We also hope it reveals something about the spirit of our school. At St Thomas Aquinas, we want for your children exactly what you want as parents the best and nothing but the best. We know that we will achieve that only with your active support and involvement. That is why we place a huge emphasis on the importance of working closely with our parents and why we spend a great deal of time developing that vital partnership. We know that we have a good school now, but we intend, with your help, to make it an even better school in the future. We hope you will join us on our exciting journey.

King Edward VI Five Ways School has a distinguished history in Birmingham and beyond this goes back to its establishment as a King Edward Foundation Grammar School in 1883 at Five Ways in the City Centre. It has always been at the leading edge of educational progress yet conscious of its historic roots and traditions. Today we are the largest co-educational state grammar school in the West Midlands offering able girls and boys from a wide catchment area (in and outside Birmingham) the opportunity to develop and fulfil their potential in an attractive environment, with outstanding facilities. We are in the top five co-ed grammar schools nationally and we pride ourselves on the young adults who leave us prepared academically, but more importantly, possessing the skills and confidence to take their place as adults in the 21st century.

We expect boys to work hard, have high standards of behaviour, and to display respect for others in the school community. We recognise that our boys will be leaving us to go into a highly competitive world, and so we aim to instil values of resilience and independence as well as encouraging boys, whatever their ability, to achieve their academic potential. Our house system offers excellent pastoral care as well as opportunities for learning and success outside the classroom. We encourage boys to develop their talents in sports, music and drama. We have invested in our staffing so that all boys have the support they need to enjoy all aspects of school life and to feel safe. As a Head, I am really proud of the staff and all the extra hours they put in so that boys can have as many opportunities as possible, under the supervision of excellent role models.
