September 2024 Starters

We are extremely pleased to be welcoming you to our Penns family and we are thankful that you have chosen us as your child's primary environment.  We are a small inclusive school with high expectations, a positive ethos, open and honest communication and a real passion for seeing children become well rounded citizens.  We are confident that your child will enjoy their time with us.

Special Educational Needs

We operate an inclusive school and surrounding environment at Penns.  If you are concerned or need to discuss your child's progress thus far, our pastoral team will be happy to discuss any issues or concerns that require attention before your child begins in September enabling them to settle easily and progress well.

Please email our pastoral team on: pastoral@pennsji.bham.sch.uk and a member of our team will be in touch or alternatively, you can email our SENCO directly on: senco@pennsji.bham.sch.uk
