Nansen Primary, in Alum Rock, has had a turbulent time since it was placed in special measures by watchdog Ofsted in April 2014 following snap inspections sparked by the emergence of an alleged plot by hardline Muslims to Islamise non-faith schools.
Cath Rindl, current head at Benson Community School in Winson Green, has also been working as interim head at Nansen since April last year.

She is now set to quit her job at Benson Community, where she has worked for 12 years, to work solely for Nansen from September.
Mrs Rindl was drafted in after the school's previous interim head Rashida Sharif left in March 2015.
The departure followed a damning Ofsted inspection which revealed pupils as young as eight were being violent towards staff and ??7,000, which should have been spent on educating children, had been used to refurbish the head teacher's office.
Adrian Packer, chief executive of CORE Education Trust which runs the academy, said: "I'm delighted to announce Mrs Rindl's appointment as Nansen Primary School's new permanent head.
"It's a very important step forward for the school and we are confident she is the right person for the job and will build on the excellent work she has already done there.
