Rockwood Academy (formerly Park View School) is a coeducational secondary school located in Alum Rock, Birmingham, England. ==History== The school was built in the 1960s and was known as Naseby School. In 1983 it became Park View School, the badge which was a shield, was designed by a student. There was a picture of books, representing the school and a picture of trees representing Ward End Park. Park View School was based in two sites. Lower School was on Naseby Road and Upper school was based in Park Hall School. The school became Park View Business and Enterprise School in 2005 and later was refurbished in the early 2010s under the Building Schools for the Future programme. The school was previously a specialist Business and Enterprise College, however in 2013 it became an academy sponsored by Park View Educational Trust. In 2014 the school was criticised for promoting extremist Islamic views to pupils: see Operation Trojan Horse. The school is under investigation by Ofsted. In 2015, it was announced that the Education Funding Agency had found financial irregularities to the tune of £70,000 including a payment of £27,000 to a public relations firm without authorisation from the EFA. The EFA report alleges that money which had been allocated to the school under the government's pupil premium scheme—which is intended to help the most disadvantaged of children—was misused on public relations. Despite all this criticism the students had achieved some of the best results in an innercity school. In 2012 the results were 76% including English and Maths yet in 2015 they were 54% including English and Maths. The school was renamed Rockwood Academy in September 2015,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Park View Academy name change rethink after 'derision' fears )〕 and is now sponsored by The Core Educational Trust. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rockwood Academy, Birmingham」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
