Ninestiles, an Academy, Birmingham | Fees, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

The event was very well planned and communication before the event was detailed and relevant. The staff actively signposted students and parents to the providers stands and provided support if required. The students who I spoke to were very engaged and were taking the opportunity to look at a range of options and making applications. I look forward to support future events in school.

I had a wonderful time at this school today delivering an Employability talk for the Year 11 students! The staff (particularly the Head of Careers) and students were so welcoming and it was a real pleasure to talk to them. I look forward to visiting the school again soon!

I went to this school and left in 2015. Honestly, avoid this school at ALL costs. I had multiple teachers (especially in maths and science) tell me on a regular basis that I wasn’t smart enough to get an A grade, I had teachers embarrass me in front of my entire class when I didn’t understand something, and they NEVER cared when I was seriously struggling with my mental health at 14 even when they knew what was going on. I got zero support. From what I’ve seen and heard about the school now, I can gather that they haven’t changed.

I can even admit myself, the English department is amazing and is the only shining light at Ninestiles. They were the only ones who encouraged me while I was there. However, if you care about the education and well-being of your child in the slightest, please DO NOT send them here. There are many, far better schools in Birmingham.

Edit: I never “provoked” a teacher. I was actually a really quiet student. Brushing off my review as fake proves that nobody wants to listen to the honest experiences of real students who were under Ninestiles’ care for 5 years. Just accept that some teachers at Ninestiles DID embarrass students. Some teachers DID berate us without provocation if we didn’t understand something (even the quiet ones!) If your gut reaction is to blame students for every negative reaction from a teacher, then you’re very naive, your ideas are old-fashioned, and it further proves my point about the type of teachers you find at this school. I never “deserved” to be insulted by adults without reason.

Detentions for talking in the corridor between lessons….. This is a rule of a prison camp not a school and every student have the right to freedom of speech in class or between lessons. Definitely something that could affect the confidence of a young person in future life.
Staff can be very rude at times and lie about the contact they have had from a parent about the information regarding their child.
Very disappointed at there lack of understanding this school and the staff within have for others.
After calling and speaking to a very up tight and rude pa…. I asked if my child has freedom of speech within the school but she wouldn’t answer my question after I said this call was being recorded….. She ended the conversation and put the phone down…… Which is not good at all they have just provoked the issue not solved it.

Parents Evening October 2022
Fozia was very welcoming and accommodating and it was a real pleasure to talk to students and parents about their future aspirations. We look forward to visiting the school again soon!
