Where is This Schools #7

Looking at the building I'd guess it's a secondary school and maybe the feature that differentiates it fom tiday is that the entrance has been moved? All guesswork. Viv.
Oh I'll have a go... Great Barr County Modern Boys and Girls Schools/Great Barr Comp on Aldridge Road? Viv.

It is Handsworth Wood Boys School that later became Handsworth Wood Girls School after a fire I believe. The original girls school is still there I believe at the front of this school. That I believe is an Academy (whats the difference) I worked here before the fire demolishing the old technical education block, I have never seen such an undisciplined school in all the schools we worked at, no wonder they closed it.

This is a photo of the whole complex that is on Church Rd Handsworth that I grabbed off Google. I noticed that the front complex that is or was the performing arts academy was boarded up at the time Google photographed it. I wasn't even built at the time we worked on the site, and that was less than 25 years ago, is that how long schools last now? Does anybody know if it is open now?
