As of 1st September 2017 Handsworth Grammar School has converted to Academy status and has joined the King Edward VI Academy Trust Birmingham and King Edward VI Foundation.

Handsworth Grammar School now becomes King Edward VI Handsworth Grammar School for Boys. We look forward to further collaboration and closer ties with the King Edward VI Foundation, the Academy Trust and its family of schools of which we are now a part of, in order to continue providing outstanding education to the children of Birmingham.
