Imedia School
· B23 6UT
Imedia School is a very small, coed independent day school in Birmingham's B23 postcode, accepting students from age 16 onwards. With only 17 pupils on roll, it offers a highly personalised educational environment focused on GCSE preparation and post-16 study. The school emphasises punctuality and structured academic routines, though its extreme smallness and lack of Ofsted inspection history suggest it operates at the margins of the mainstream independent sector.
