Blackwater Academy
Birmingham, Birmingham, West Midlands · B1 3ND
With just 43 pupils on its roll, Blackwater Academy is a notably small independent school in Birmingham. Its size places it among the most intimate of settings, where staff are likely to know every child individually and class numbers stay low. The school is co-educational and led by headteacher Mr Kyle Morrison. For families who value close attention over the scale and breadth of a larger institution, this kind of environment can be a deliberate and appealing choice.
