History of Colebourne
It was in 1936 when the first group of children attended school on the site of which is now Colebourne Primary School. The school has gone through a number of name changes and lots of building changes over the years.
Stechford Road Council School, Hodge Hill opened on 6th January 1936 in temporary buildings with accommodation for just 96 juniors and infants. A permanent building was opened the following year with room for 288 children; the school was extended in 1943. Between 1952 and 1988 the school was called Hodge Hill Junior and Infants. Since 1988 the school has been known as Colebourne Primary School.
