Thank you for your interest in South Bromsgrove High. ‘South’, as our school is affectionately known is a high performing academy and for many years students of all abilities have achieved results at GCSE and A level above local and national averages.
We have high expectations of all our students, and aim to equip them with the skills and experience which will enable them to be successful in the next stage of life. This may involve moving into our very successful
Sixth Form and on to university, or taking a route with more bespoke training, an apprenticeship or work-related study.
Each year we learn of former students who are happy in their careers and who remind us that the foundations for their success were laid during their time with us.
In our last Ofsted Inspection we were graded as ‘Good’ for Overall Effectiveness, with Leadership & Management, the Sixth Form and Personal Development all deemed to be ‘Outstanding’. The opening
sentences from our Ofsted report note that “South Bromsgrove High school leaders and pupils share the same high aspirations” and “Relationships between pupils and staff are warm and courteous”. Inspectors also wrote that “Leaders prioritise pupils’ personal development. The extra-curricular programme is rich
and diverse” and “Significantly high numbers of pupils participate in the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award scheme”. Each year we have around 500 students participating in Bronze, Silver and Gold Awards and
for some parents, our experience in the Award, and the fact that we have an amazing success rate is an important consideration in applying for South.
An important aspect of our work at South Bromsgrove is the development of highly effective teachers and leaders. As lead school within the South Bromsgrove Teacher Training Partnership, we run successful
School Direct Initial Teacher Training programmes. Our work in the provision of National Professional Qualifications (NPQs) for school leaders over a number of years has led the school to build strong
partnerships nationally and locally. Our work supports serving and aspirant school leaders at all levels in developing the knowledge and expertise to secure the very best outcomes for the students and
communities they serve. This means that we attract and develop the highest quality teachers who are motivated, enthusiastic and dedicated to ensuring that all students are given the opportunity to achieve their potential.
