The Phoenix Collegiate is a foundation secondary school and sixth form located in the Hateley Heath area of West Bromwich, a town in the West Midlands of England.
This follows the closure of the former Manor High School buildings on the Friar Park estate in Wednesbury due to asbestos.
It became West Bromwich Grammar School in 1944, and moved to new buildings on Clarkes Lane in 1964.
It was only a grammar school at this site for five years, becoming a comprehensive school in September 1969 when West Bromwich borough council (which merged with Warley five years later to form Sandwell) decided to make comprehensive education universal.
[citation needed] Manor High School opened in 1968 on the Friar Park estate, but exam results attained by school leavers were constantly low, and demand for places was falling by the 1990s as many pupils living in the catchment area chose to attend other schools.
