Previously a community school administered by Birmingham City Council, in October 2016 Cockshut Hill Technology College converted to academy status and was renamed Cockshut Hill School.

It serves mainly the Yardley, Sheldon and Acocks Green wards of the city.

The buildings are situated on one site in Cockshut Hill, with on-site tennis courts and a grass games area that is used for rugby during the winter and athletics during the summer.

Local off site facilities are used for a wider variety of sporting activities.

[citation needed] The teaching accommodation comprises a large new-build block and facilities, alongside traditional, brick buildings.
