In the 1960s, when administered by the City of Birmingham Education Committee, it had around 600 boys.[citation needed] It became a boys' comprehensive school in 1975. The grammar school had five houses in the 1960s, but they amalgamated to four in 1969.[citation needed] It was announced that the sixth form centre at Kings Norton boys school would close following the 2017–2018 school year and the year 7 intake increased to 150 students.
