here - Shire Oak Academy
Turning potential into excellence 01543 452518 www.shire-oak.walsall.sch.uk The academy is situated at the junction of the A461 (Lichfield Road) and the A452 (Chester Road). It is not readily visible from either of these roads, however, since it is obscured by the Shire Oak public house. The main entrance to the academy is reached from the A452 via Adams Road and St Marks Road. There is a staff only entrance from the Lichfield Road but the gates are shut between 9.00 and 2.40 daily.
