Alston Primary School converted to an academy within Leigh Trust as of 1st July 2014. It is a 3 form entry school with a nursery unit offering 39 part time places. The school serves a rich and diverse local community in the Bordesley Green area of Birmingham and is proud to be fully inclusive, welcoming children from a wide variety of backgrounds where all are given equal status for the contribution they make.
