Text description provided by the architects. Broadway School is an existing 7-form entry comprehensive secondary school and sixth form centre, specialising in modern foreign languages. The school is split over two sites: the main Perry Barr campus which is located on The Broadway, with the Aston Annexe housing the lower school located half a mile away in Whitehead Road. The aim of this project was to consolidate the school onto one site on the Broadway to create an Exemplar School to serve the Birchfield Community. The Brodadway site was characterised by a mix of one, two and three storeys of concrete frame construction, the 1970s buildings were clad in red and yellow bricks with large areas of glazing and flat roofing. The more recent three storey building was clad in a different yellow brick and had a shallow pitched roof.
