Our school serves pupils from central Birmingham. The percentage of our cohort eligible for the Pupil Premium is the eighth highest in the country.

Our school prepares pupils to succeed at elite universities, with our alumni proudly representing our community at prestigious destinations including Cambridge University, Durham University and the London School of Economics.
Our school consistently secures excellent outcomes for our pupils.
In Art, our pupils are consistently successful. This year, 100% of grades achieved by our GCSE artists were a grade 4 or higher, including 75% at 5+. Our A-Level artists were equally successful, with 100% achieving at least a C grade.
Providing all pupils with an academic and rigorous Art education is central to our university preparatory curriculum.
All pupils study Art at Key Stage Three. At Key Stage Four, Art is an increasingly popular choice. The successful candidate will take on the challenge of expanding our Art enrichment offer, to build a love of Art all the way through our school, as well as growing the number of pupils choosing to study Art at A-Level.
