History
Streetly is named after Icknield Street, a Roman road, of which parts can still be found in Sutton Park. Streetly was a rural area of Staffordshire until the 1950s when the character of the area became suburban due to the mass construction of modern housing in response to the urbanisation of Birmingham. Streetly was in Aldridge-Brownhills Urban District until the creation of the metropolitan West Midlands county in 1974.
The history of Streetly in the 20th century is regularly discussed in a local history Facebook page and the Birmingham History Forum. These resources include links to further online information including the personal recollections of previous residents.

More about Streetly
Education
There is one 11–18 secondary school in Streetly, and four primary schools for children aged up to 11 years:
From September 1972, Streetly and other areas of the then Aldridge-Brownhills Urban District operated a system of 5-9 first, 9-13 middle and 13-18 secondary schools. However, from September 1986 the area reverted to the conventional system of 5-11 primary schools and 11-18 secondary schools following a decision by Walsall Metropolitan Borough Council to bring the former Aldridge-Brownhills Urban District area schools into line with the rest of the borough.
Since September 1992, pupils transferring from primary schools in Streetly have had the option of transferring to secondary schools in neighbouring Sutton Coldfield (since 1974 part of Birmingham) following that area's reduction in the secondary school age from 12 to 11.
