The University of Birmingham School, just off Bristol Road in Selly Oak, will open in September 2015 to children aged between 11 and 16. The School, which will be free to attend, seeks to bring pupils together from different social and cultural backgrounds to create an environment that reflects the diversity of Birmingham and provides opportunities for everyone to excel. It will focus on character development, provide engaging and challenging teaching and learning designed to meet the needs of the individual and through its extended school day ensure the students enjoy an extensive programme of extra-curricular opportunities, all connected to the University of Birmingham which was named the University of the Year 2013-14. More than 2,000 parents have registered their interest for just 350 places. (Video: Anjana Gadgil/BBC Midlands Today)
