Introduction

Shireland Collegiate Academy is part of the South Sandwell Consortium, which allows students to access a large number of programmes with a variety of exciting course combinations. Working in collaboration with Bristnall Hall Technology College and George Salter Collegiate Academy each campus has a specialism for a curriculum area. You can combine a core curriculum with quality pastoral care within their home campus with a range of course combinations, or where programmes may operate over two campuses, transport between each campus is organised to ensure safe and reliable movement of learners.

Shireland Sixth Form Centre opened in September 2002, and has since rapidly expanded thanks in part to the wide choice of subjects available.

Students are treated as unique individuals, and the school always aims to provide course tailored, to match career aspirations.
