OUR SCHOOL

Small Heath School is an inner ring, split site, co-educational 11-18 comprehensive school. It was established in 1983 by amalgamation as part of the reorganisation of secondary education in Birmingham. In 1994, the school was one of the first in the country to gain Technology College status and opened its own Sixth Form Centre.

Heads Message

Thank you for your interest in our school and I hope that this web site will give you an idea of the caring, supportive and vibrant community that is Small Heath School.

A former Prime Minister once described us as "an example to others". We were both flattered and challenged by this description. Whilst it is reassuring to know that we are doing well our desire is to do even better.

Our aim is simple - to do the best we can for our children. We have a reputation for doing well.

We believe that children develop best in an atmosphere where they are loved and well disciplined. This means being tough on work and behaviour whilst caring deeply for the welfare of each child in our school family.

We work in partnership with our parents, at all times encouraging the children to be successful. Our expectations of performance and standards of behaviour are high. We are very proud of our school.

We can offer some of the best educational opportunities in Birmingham, dedicated and gifted teachers, an extended school day and every opportunity to study and learn both in school and through visits and expeditions.

The school is directed by Governors who are parents or who work and employ people in the community. They are proud of our children's achievements and are determined to keep Small Heath School among the best.

I look forward to welcoming you and your family to our school.
