Perry Beeches The Academy (formerly Perry Beeches School) is a mixed secondary school and sixth form located in the Perry Beeches area of Birmingham, in the West Midlands of England.[1]
Previously a community school administered by Birmingham City Council, Perry Beeches School converted to academy status in May 2012 and was renamed Perry Beeches The Academy. The school is now part of Perry Beeches The Academy Trust, however the school continues to coordinate with Birmingham City Council for admissions.
Perry Beeches The Academy offers GCSEs and BTECs as programmes of study for pupils.[2] Students in the sixth form have the option to study from a range of A-levels offered as part of a consortium of schools that form Perry Beeches Sixth Form.[3]
Perry Beeches The Academy Trust
Perry Beeches The Academy is the lead school of Perry Beeches The Academy Trust, a multi-academy trust which is formed of Perry Beeches The Academy, Perry Beeches Primary I, Perry Beeches II The Free School, Perry Beeches III The Free School, Perry Beeches IV The Free School and Perry Beeches V The All Through Family School. Together the schools offer a combined sixth form provision.[4]
In March 2016 the Education Funding Agency published a critical report on the financial management and governance of the Trust. The report showed that the chief executive of the Trust, Liam Nolan, was being paid by sub-contractors as well as by the Trust. In addition more than £2.5 million of free school meal funding could not be checked because financial records had been deleted, that £1.3 million had been paid to a sub-contractor without a written contract or after a formal procurement exercise, and there was not effective oversight by trustees. Its five academies and free schools are likely to be transferred to a new trust.[5][6][7]
