Previously administered by Birmingham City Council, the school converted to academy status on 1 September 2009. Ark St Alban's Academy is sponsored by Ark[2] and the Church of England Diocese of Birmingham. The school also maintains links with the Parish of St Alban the Martyr, Birmingham.[3]

Ark St Alban's Academy offers GCSEs and Cambridge Nationals as programmes of study for pupils, while students in the sixth form (which opened in 2013) have the option to study from a range of A-levels. The school also has specialisms in mathematics and engineering.

History

The original school was founded in 1871 by the Pollock brothers to try and give young people their educational needs.[4] The new school opened in 2009.[5]
