“Leaders at Grace Academy Solihull put pupils at the heart of everything they do. Pupils say that staff value them and notice when they need help. Staff have high expectations of pupils, and pupils work hard to meet these expectations. Pupils welcome the pastoral support they receive and say they feel safe”.

We are focused on ensuring that students receive the best education to enhance their life chances. Our hard work and progress is recognised fully in the latest OFSTED judgment the Academy has now received. The Academy was judged as GOOD overall in our most recent inspection in May 2022

This is a well-deserved judgement and an accurate reflection of the Academy’s progress to date. The report highlights the balance we have strived to achieve through outstanding examination results and the equally important support, welfare and care we have for individual students. This is comparable with any high performing school or Academy nationally, but our commitment to further improve and enhance what we offer as an Academy continues.
