Ladypool School, Sparkhill

Ladypool Primary School (SP086848) is a primary school on Stratford Road in Sparkbrook, Birmingham, England.

It was built as Stratford Road Primary in 1885 by architects Martin & Chamberlain as a Birmingham board school.

The school was extensively damaged in the Birmingham Tornado on 28 July 2005 and lost its distinctive Martin & Chamberlain tower. The school proposed to build a replicate of the tower. A meeting by Birmingham City Council planning committee on October 26, 2006 decided that the application should be referred to the Department for Communities and Local Government.

It stands next to St Agatha's Church and is a Grade II* listed building.
