We have over 3000 students across our four campuses around the city of Birmingham and almost half of those students are eligible for free school meals.

We believe that every child deserves the same high standard of education to change their lives.
Each of our four campuses across the city of Birmingham has a traditional approach with old-fashioned values where courtesy, manners and respect are central . You can find live vacancies by clicking on our campus pages below:

We believe there is dignity in hard work and our dedicated staff go the extra mile for our students to not only ensure that they succeed academically, but develop a depth of character through their everyday and extra-curricular experiences. We expect every child to challenge themselves, fostering our students' aspirations, supporting them to overcome obstacles to pursue their goals and achieve their ambitious aims in life.
We are looking for more dedicated professionals to join our family to contribute to our mission, exuding and extending our values.
