Search of Handsworth schools in 1911

Hi all, sorry I haven’t been on the forum for a while, I’m still researching my family tree, I’m trying to work out which schools my dad and his brother would possibly attended in 1911, they were both living in Whateley road in Handsworth , dad was 12 yrs, uncle Ron would have been about 6yrs. I’m not sure how to look for school registers without knowing the schools involved, has anyone else here had this problem, any help would be much appreciated thanks
 
Closest would have been Grove Lane School, map from 1912...

Thanks MWS, I wasn’t sure which schools would have been located in Handsworth back in 1911, I’ll see if I can research any records for Grove Lane school, thanks for your help , will keep you posted
 
Sorry to say I would imagine few registers would still be in existence. The sheer volume of paperwork couldn't be stored in a school.
