Mercia School (11-18+) opened in September 2018 and has grown incrementally each year since then. We now have pupils in years 7-13, have published exceptional GCSE results in 2023 and 2024, and we opened our Collegiate Sixth Form in September 2023.


We are a traditional school, and aspects of our approach and practice are like other highly effective schools across the country. We have a strong reputation for educational excellence and have been the most oversubscribed school in the city for the last four years. In February 2023 Ofsted inspected the school and graded all aspects of provision and overall effectiveness to be outstanding.  Our aim is to provide all pupils, no matter what their background or starting point, with a rich, coherent, and demanding education, facilitated by a longer school day.


This ultimately equips and inspires them to progress to university or a high-quality alternative. We care about every pupil and want the absolute best for them.


Our school is a warm and welcoming place where all pupils feel happy and safe and can flourish. Staff are free to teach without distraction and deliver exceptional lessons, and leaders focus persistently on what matters.


We wish to recruit, develop, and retain the best staff, and we have a strong commitment to reducing the workload for teachers.
