Ormiston Sandwell Community Academy (formerly Tividale Comprehensive School, Tividale High School and Tividale Community Arts College) is an academy for secondary aged pupils located in Tividale, Sandwell, in the West Midlands of England. The school was built in 1956 as The Tividale School to serve the expanding Tividale area which by this date had expanded beyond Tipton's borders into Dudley. Since then it has undergone several changes of status and name alongside building expansion. On its opening, it was one of the first comprehensive schools in Britain. From September 2009, the school became an academy sponsored by the Ormiston Academies Trust. The school was then renamed Ormiston Sandwell Community Academy. Today, the school mostly serves pupils living in the Oldbury, Tipton and Rowley Regis areas of Sandwell. In 2013 the academy started a two-year build programme which saw over £10 million spent on a mixture of new build, remodelling and refurbishment as well as enhancing IT provision and student areas. In September 2017, further expansion of the school was completed at the cost of around £2.5 million. As of May 2015, the school is rated as 'Good' by Ofsted, a big improvement on its showings before the academy was created, when the former comprehensive school was consistently among the lowest performing schools in the Sandwell area in terms of exam results and Ofsted inspections. In March 2017, the school was designated as a National Support School by the Department of Education. The school will support other schools facing challenging circumstances. The former Executive Principal, Marie McMahon, was also designated as a National Leader of Education.

The Rowley Hills are a range of hills in the West Midlands county in England. The range comprises Turner's Hill, Bury Hill, Portway Hill and Darby's Hill. The ridge forms part of the east/west watershed between the River Severn and the River Trent, with rainfall on the western side going to the Bristol Channel via the Severn, and rainfall on the eastern side ending up in the North Sea via the Trent. The hills are situated east of the town of Dudley in Rowley Regis, on the border between the metropolitan boroughs of Dudley and Sandwell. The largest hill, Turner's Hill, is the highest point in the West Midlands county, with an altitude of 269 metres (883 ft) above sea level. Views from the summit include the Clee Hills, Clent Hills, Cannock Chase, and much of Birmingham and the Black Country.

Oakham is an area of Dudley, England, situated on the peak of Turners Hill, the highest point in the West Midlands county. All of the area was historically in Dudley but in 1966 approximately half of it, including the Tividale Hall and Grace Mary housing estates, was incorporated into the county borough of Warley (centred on the former boroughs of Oldbury, Smethwick and Rowley Regis), which in turn merged with West Bromwich in 1974 to form Sandwell. It was a largely rural area until the 1930s, when private and council housing developments took place around City Road, including the Grace Mary Estate (council housing). The Tividale Hall Estate was developed for private housing from the mid-1930s, but construction was halted due to the war effort around 1940. Both of these estates were expanded after the end of World War II in 1945, including the extension of Regent Road to link up with Oakham Road. "Big Bertha", an anti-aircraft gun, was erected at the top of the hill near City Road when World War II broke out in 1939. Although this gun proved useful in eliminating enemy aircraft, it also became an enemy target. The Oakham area fell victim to most of Dudley's air raids by the German Luftwaffe on 19 November 1940. These damaged several houses in City Road on the Grace Mary Estate and resulted in 10 civilian deaths as well as many injuries.On 21 December 1940, a stray shell from the anti-aircraft gun fell down the chimney of the Boat Inn one mile away in Dudley Road East, Tividale, resulting in 13 deaths and dozens of injuries. On 12 August 1941, the Luftwaffe dropped a landmine several hundreds yards from the gun in Birch Crescent, demolishing a pair of new semi-detached houses and severely damaging several others, leaving four people dead and several others injured. The gun was dismantled after the war ended in 1945, but several traces of it remain more than 70 years later. Oakham's most famous resident was George Smith, known as the Dudley Hangman. He was born in nearby Rowley Regis in 1805. In 1840 he became assistant to the executioner William Calcraft before being appointed as executioner for Staffordshire in his own right. He became notorious for entertaining customers in Black Country pubs with gruesome stories of his work. There was a pub in Oakham, now demolished, called the 'Hangman's Tree' which was named in George Smith's honour. It was demolished in 2007. Oakham Primary School has served the Sandwell section of Oakham since 1939, and was originally known as City Road Infant and Junior Schools. It now has 420 places for pupils aged 5–11 as well as a nursery unit for a total of 60 children aged 3 or 4 years. Grace Mary Primary is another primary school in the area, having opened in April 1959.
