Editing Ward End (section)

==Secondary schools==

The secondary school which served this area from 1958 was Ward End Hall [[Secondary Modern]]; later known as Ward End Hall County Secondary School, before finally being renamed Park View Upper School in 1983 when it catered solely for 4th and 5th year senior pupils, and sixth-formers (or Year 10, 11, 12 and 13s as they are known these days). Park View Lower School was the name given to the next closest secondary school, Naseby, after the two schools amalgamated in the mid-1980s. However, whether it was due to lack of demand for places or just financial problems, the former Ward End Hall School was closed down and demolished in the mid-1990s. A housing estate now stands on the site of the former school. Park View School was renamed [[Rockwood Academy, Birmingham|Rockwood Academy]] in 2015. In addition to Rockwood Academy, there is a secondary education establishment quite locally at [[Washwood Heath]] ([[Washwood Heath Academy]]) and two more in [[Hodge Hill]] ([[Hodge Hill College]]; and [[Hodge Hill Girls' School]], a former [[grammar school]]).
