James Brindley is a multi-sited, multi-provision special Academy that provides education for young people, aged 2-19, whilst either in hospital or unable to attend mainstream school due to their medical conditions, special educational needs or disability.
Our locations are spread throughout Birmingham and comprise: 7 hospitals (both physical and mental health); 2 teaching centres for young people with social, emotional and mental health conditions and an autism specialist centre. We also provide teaching in the home. On a daily basis we provide education for an average of 500 young people. Annually this equates to teaching approximately 2,500 young people, all with complex and varied needs. These young people may be placed with us through Birmingham’s referral route or come from across the UK and wider via their medical placement.
Many of our young people make exceptional progress in the face of significant personal challenges with physical or mental health. It is our primary role as educators to prioritise their academic studies but equally we recognise the importance of supporting their well-being and preparing them for their next steps. We believe that every young person deserves an education which enables them to be the best they can be.
