Frequently Asked Questions
Who are Shireland?
We are an established multi-academy Trust with five primary schools and five secondary schools across the Black Country area of the West Midlands.
Shireland Collegiate Academy is the founding school of Shireland Collegiate Academy Trust. This Ofsted outstanding Academy has a national reputation for innovation, collaboration and inspiring individuals within our care and we aim to maintain this reputation throughout our Trust.
What’s a technology primary?
Our curriculum provides a range of purposeful and real-world learning experiences.
By using technology to create exceptional learning experiences, we help bring the curriculum and learning to life with children having many opportunities to collaborate, problem solve and develop critical thinking skills.
In order to ensure our pupils become well-rounded, thoughtful and safe users of technology in an increasingly digital world, we have developed a robust Digital Learner Framework to set out our expectations for technology use across the school. This framework focuses on the progression of skills across the school in three key areas: Digital Literacy, Digital Citizenship and Technological Skills.
As a new school, how will you handle the transition for new pupils and ensure all needs are met?
We’ve done this before and staff who have been involved in admissions and transition at other Shireland schools will be on hand. We believe that every child has the potential to succeed, and our approach is built on that principle. We are dedicated to providing a supportive and inclusive educational environment that caters to all needs.
Will there be nursery provision?
Yes, the Coseley Technology Primary Nursery is planned to open at the same time as the school. Visit our admissions page to sign up for information alerts and we’ll send you admissions details shortly.
How many pupils will the school have?
When we open, we will only have nursery and reception classes at the school. As this year group moves up through the school, a new reception class will be taken on every year until the school is full.
We will have 60 places in reception and 52 places in our nursery.
