If you can tell us where it is located one of the moderators can move it to the correct board for 'local' help.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

If you go to http://www.old-maps.co.uk/maps.html?coords=411500,280850 you can see the original school on the 1937 1:2,500 map.

Robin Hood Primary School is on Pitmaston Road now, it could have been a secondary school in the 1930s. There does not appear to be a Pitman Road in Hall Green.

The School was Pitmaston Secondary Modern Girl's School, Hall Green, Birmingham 28. It appears to have been  one of the secondary schools put forward by local authorities to be closed or amalgamated  pursuant to the Education Act 1980
I would think that the buildings on the site are the original ones from the Secondary School. http://g.co/maps/v5e8s
