Britannia High School was a secondary school located in Rowley Regis, West Midlands, England. [ [http://www.rowleyregis.com/posts10-0.html&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=&sid=5ccda9ddcc34301112c03111cb9cdaca] Dead link|date=February 2008]

It was opened in 1932 as "Rowley Regis Secondary Modern Boys School" and later became a mixed school with the title "Britannia High School".

Plans to close the school were first drawn up in 2001, but these were initially shelved in July of that year after a re-think by Sandwell council officials.

The school buildings were demolished in 2004 and the site is now occupied by the new Blackheath Primary School.
