- Heathfield Foundation Technology College
Heathfield Foundation Technology College (formerly Heathfield High School) is a secondary school and sixth form college located in the Old Hill area of Cradley Heath, West Midlands, England.
It was built in the 1970s when two local schools Cradley Heath Secondary School, in the Lomey Town area of Cradley Heath, and Macefield Secondary School, in Old Hill, merged. The name of the school was coined from the names of the two schools: Cradley Heath and Macefield.
It serves pupils living in the Cradley Heath, Old Hill and Rowley Regis areas of Sandwell. Its Technology College status encourages extra funding which is focused on the Technology department.
The college building programme of 2007 has been completed, with a new hair and beauty salon, seminar rooms, catering rooms and a new sixth form study centre. With this, the college offer 100+ post 16 courses, one of few places in Sandwell.
The school had previously expanded in September 2002 when taking in pupils from Britannia High School, which closed at this time due to falling pupil numbers.
The college also has a mountain centre located in Dinas Mawddwy, Gwynedd, North Wales. The building, previously an old school, was converted into accommodation for students when taking part in environmental studies, or some other rural activity. The original mountain centre was located in Llanbrynmair, Powys, Mid-Wales. This was a converted church building.
