Report
I went this school 3 years ago im now 14 and still can't tell time the head teacher before was called mrs gully she stole are prom money which led to us paying for are own drinks after them telling us it will be provided for. If you want your kids to have a good education I wouldn't come here all they care about is getting money they don't care about the kids education the worst part is my high school invited my year 6 teachers to come and see all of there pupils to see how they were going on every school showed up except this ball green I still have there trophies they gave me and I don't plan

Report
I went to Ball Green Junior School between 1974-78 and I absolutely loved it. Although it was relatively small, we were a very good school sports wise. The teachers were encouraging, considerate and wanted you to achieve the best you could possibly be. Such happy memories of the place possibly persuaded me to follow a career of teaching.
