King's Norton Boys' School is a secondary school for around 650 pupils aged 11 to 16 It is located in Northfield Road in Kings Norton within the formal district of Northfield near the centre of the city of Birmingham, England.[1] It is situated east of the A441, just north of the B4121 in Cotteridge.

History

It was founded as a boys' grammar school in the reign of King Edward VI, circa 1550. It was refounded in 1912. In the 1960s, when administered by the City of Birmingham Education Committee, it had around 600 boys.{{Citation needed|date=February 2011}} It became a boy's comprehensive school in 1975. The grammar school's five houses in the 1960s were, Greves, Jervoise, Lyttleton, Middlemore & Mortimer. They amalgamated to only four houses in the 1980/90s, James, Weaver, Reynolds and Wright. It was announced that the sixth form center at Kings Norton boys school would close following the 2017-2018 school year and the year 7 intake increased to 150 students.
