From the Wikipedia article

Oldbury Academy (formerly Oldbury College of Sport) is a mixed secondary school and former sixth form located in Oldbury, West Midlands, England. It opened as a merger of Warley High School (formerly Oldbury Tech) and Langley High School (formerly Oldbury Grammar) on 1 January 1999. The head teacher, John Martin, led the merger of the two schools from 1983 until 1999. Phil Shackleton took over as head teacher until summer 2024, when he became executive head teacher for Stour Vale Academy Trust, which he had led the school into a few years earlier. Since September 2024, the school has been led by head teacher Mr. B Morley, who joined the school from Windsor Academy in Halesowen, where he was the Deputy head teacher. The school is also aiming to provide students a "nutritious" start to the day by handing out free bagels at the start of every school day, as part of the National School Breakfast Programme.
