Welcome to Christ Church, Church of England, Secondary Academy
A new and growing school in Yardley Wood, Birmingham
Welcome to Christ Church, Church of England Secondary Academy website.
Christ Church Secondary Academy is a new Church of England 11- 18 Academy that opened with the first year 7 cohort in September 2021. We now have years 7 to 9 and are well into the planning for key stage 4 for September 2024 and the opening of our sixth form in September 2026. We might be a relatively new school but as part of the Church of England Foundation for Education, we belong to a vast and rich heritage and are part of the Birmingham Diocese Multi Academy Trust (BDMAT).
As an inclusive Church of England Academy, welcoming students from all faiths, the Christian faith and no faith, our vision and values inspire and inform every aspect of our work. Our vision is to be a community, wanting to learn and live well together by instilling hope, gaining confidence, showing perseverance, inspiring ambition, and creativity, supporting each other to achieve our God-given potential. So that we send our students out into the world to be courageous, to be beacons of light in their local communities, knowing the love of God, we value each student as an individual. We recognise their different talents and needs, and in working together we aspire for each one to be courageous, confident, and successful in all they do.
Our Academy values of courage, compassion, service and flourishing inform our CCSA way; we are courageous in our learning, compassionate in our caring and supporting each other in love we achieve and flourish together.
I know that choosing a secondary school is a significant decision. I recognise the huge responsibility we have as an academy to ensure that we provide the best education and care for your child that inspires and equips them to be able to lead contented and successful lives when they leave us. The key to this is our partnership with our Parents and Carers and ensuring we build strong relationships so that we work together and are one community.
I hope that our website provides you with all the information you may need, but please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
