What the school offers its staff

Thank you for the interest you have shown in the position of Head of Sixth Form at King Edward VI Camp Hill School for Boys. Camp Hill Boys is a remarkable school with an impressive history but looking ahead to a no less notable future, rich in traditional values, yet wholly contemporary in its outlook. Such is the warmth and strength of our relationships, its members often describe it as the ‘Camp Hill Family’; a happy and caring community, with strong working links to the sister school alongside, Camp Hill Girls.

Recently awarded the Sunday Times Best State Secondary School for the last decade, we take pride in an environment in which staff and students enjoy their learning together and where high academic standards are expected but also accompanied by an appreciation of fun and a commitment to opportunity and enrichment beyond the curriculum. No less important than a wide and demanding curriculum is the importance of the arts, music and sport with voluntary work by students and international collaboration adding to an impressive profile.

Camp Hill Boys is also an integral member of the King Edward VI Academy Trust Birmingham and the wider King Edward VI Foundation. We look to our leaders to work as a team aiming to fulfil our ambition of making Birmingham the best place in Britain in which to be educated, a mission to inspire Birmingham’s young people to harness and maximise their potential, wherever they live, irrespective of their circumstances and whatever their aptitudes: academic, occupational, sporting or cultural. Our recent expansion into a wider diversity of schools and local communities is enabling us to accelerate the achievement of that mission and we look to our leaders to spearhead that work.

Commitment to safeguarding

Our role in school is clearly defined by statutory Department for Education (DfE) guidance - Keeping Children Safe in Education. Our duties form an important part of the wider safeguarding system for children and mean that we will always consider what is in the best interests of the child.

All schools have a Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) and at Camp Hill Boys it is Mr Andrew Caves, the Deputy Head (Pastoral). If you have any concerns or queries of a safeguarding nature, please contact him or your son's Head of Year.

Welcome to King Edward VI Camp Hill School for Boys. We are a caring community where everyone can do and be their best. We strive to support our students through the ups and downs of life so that they can lead a happy and fulfilled life as much as possible. We pride ourselves in our breath-taking array of opportunities, both in our traditional academic curriculum and across our extra-curricular and enrichment programme.

The original school opened at Camp Hill, close to the city centre, in 1883 and moved to Kings Heath in 1956 because the original site was proving too small for a growing school. Camp Hill is a warm and welcoming community – where expectations and standards are high, and where a well-rounded education helps to prepare boys for the challenges and opportunities of adult life. Camp Hill Boys shares a beautiful campus with our sister school and can genuinely claim to be one of the highest achieving and best equipped schools in the country.

The boys are inspired by their excellent, well qualified teachers and are supported by parents, Governors and Old Boys. As a result, every year, Camp Hill Boys features prominently in national league tables for examination results and value added statistics which measure the attainment and progress of the boys. The students are ambitious and take their academic studies seriously, and they balance their priorities well – engaging fully in sport, music, arts, drama, chess and the extensive range of activities and leadership opportunities available at Camp Hill.

These views of the school were supported by Ofsted reports in 2000, 2006 and 2009 which judged the school to be “outstanding”. More importantly, the Inspectors found that Camp Hill was committed to go on improving, stating it has a “relentless pursuit of excellence in all aspects of the school’s work”.

Hopefully, our website will give you a flavour of our school. Education for able boys should be about challenge and enjoyment. They should feel supported and cared for as they grow up in a community which expects and delivers the highest standards.
