Waseley Hills is a truly comprehensive school, with a catchment area which ranges from the villages of rural Worcestershire to suburban Birmingham and taking students from four different local authorities. There are currently 735 students enrolled at present, including a small, mostly academic sixth form of 73 students studying A-level courses. With an annual PAN of 178 students the school has been historically undersubscribed, in part due to demographics. However, recent years have seen an increasing intake and this September 2021 have seen our largest intake in a decade. With an increasing population demographic in the primary schools at present, we anticipate this trend will continue in what are exciting times ahead for Waseley Hills.

Our cohort of students includes 21% of students on who have additional SEND needs, including 18 students with EHCPs. Of these, 10 have places at our oversubscribed Mainstream Autism Base. Also 21% of our students receive Pupil Premium funding with around 105 students currently in receipt of Free School Meals.
