BOA Creative Digital Performing Arts 1 Grosvenor Street, Birmingham B4 7QD

"Words cannot express how amazing I think this school is! My daughter has flourished since moving here in year 10. The staff and facilities are second to none. My partner has been a school teacher for 31 years and when he attended a recent event he referred to it as the Rolls Royce of schools. All I can say is a massive thank you to all of the staff who are obviously incredible at what you do."

"Not sure how they missed such a creative and talented young lady.but how my daughter was ignored at this year 10 workshop by all the staff who took time with the other chosen student they already had their eyes on. They called my daughter in for the 2nd round of the workshop interview and she did not realise that there was a 1st round interview that had taken place weeks back. So off course the staff had chosen there students from the very first round. Absolutely disgusted . . Regretably no suprise the boa academy did not accept her.awful way of treating young students. If you're not full of confidence and talking the talk you child has no chance."

"If you are not over confident and fit into a very small minority of a certain type of student you will be pushed a side and ignored and treated as less than your peers. This place made me miserable most days. The majority of the reviews on here that are 5 star are probably by the parents of the children that fit into the small minority who were given 24/7 attention by the staff at this school. If you think going into this school is about having passion and skill, you’re wrong. I used to love music and at one point it was my entire life but this school drained most of that passion out of me. I didn’t do as well as my work showed I should have because I wasn’t one of the favourites, so only send your kid here if they are typically a teachers pet, that’s the only way they will do well. This school offers a tone of opportunities, however in most cases are only offered to selected people out of favouritism."

"Now I have left BOA I can look back and really appreciate how amazing it was. By far the best 2 years of my life and my biggest regret is that I left at the end of my GCSE’s. What an amazing school! Shout out to Mr eagles and Mr Howell for being two teachers I will rememberer for the rest of my life. In fact all of the teachers were outstanding, could not fault the school. It is one of the only places where you can be utterly unique and yourself, thanks Boa, cringey but I will look back at it as some of the best days of my life"
