History
Kimichi School is housed in the buildings of Eastbourne House School, which closed in 2007. Eastbourne House School was founded in the 1930s and was originally located on the Warwick Road in Acocks Green. It later moved to 5 Dudley Park Road, Acocks Green, and in 1947 to 111 Yardley Road. It was run by Frank Moynihan who originally bought the building in an auction intending to turn it into a primary school. He was headmaster of the school until his son Patrick, who was a pupil at the school, took over as headmaster himself.

Kimichi Symphony Orchestra was founded in 2017 and, under the baton of Keith Slade, has produced several concert events in Birmingham and Prague featuring complex repertoire and often with staged or danced elements.

Academics
The school offers GCSEs and A-Levels. Currently the A-Levels on offer are: Music, English, Maths, Art, and Psychology.
