  The Deanery is a great school. Graded consistently as Outstanding, we were one of the first Primary schools to choose to convert to an Academy in Birmingham. This gives us the independence and freedom to adapt to the changing world of education while retaining our important Christian ethos. It also characterises the willingness of our school to innovate and the independent thinking that defines our Governing Body and Leadership team.
