Perryfields Academy (formerly Perryfields High School) is a coeducational secondary school located on the Brandhall housing estate in Oldbury, West Midlands, England.
The school was opened in 1956 as Brandhall secondary modern school and later became a community comprehensive school with Mathematics and Computing College status.[2]
In May 2021 Perryfields High School converted to academy status and was renamed Perryfields Academy. The school is now sponsored by Broadleaf Partnership Trust.[3] [4]
In 2009, it was the highest ranking secondary school in Sandwell, with 74% of pupils gaining 5 or more GCSEs at grade C or above.[5]
The school won the Diana Princess of Wales Anti-Bullying Award in 2006 for its policy on tackling bullying.[6]
