Tettenhall College Incorporated

What the school says...

Tettenhall College is the start of a new chapter of the personal story each young person will write during their time in the school. With a strong emphasis on preparing young people to excel in a world of opportunities, pupils are nurtured to exceed their own expectations and discover their talents in an educational setting where they will thrive, succeed and be happy.

A deeply embedded set of values run throughout the school, with ambition, opportunity, creativity, community and character at the heart of everything we do. These values are not merely headings or titles. These values are demonstrated each day by our youngest learners through to our senior pupils who model them confidently and naturally. Equally, standards are ambitiously high when it comes to our academic programmes and the constant pursuit of more.

Our learning environment is challenging yet supportive. We are committed to academic excellence, with tailored teaching focusing on each pupil’s potential. Small class sizes allow teachers to focus on individuals. A broad and challenging curriculum ensures a solid academic foundation for younger pupils followed by a strong selection of GCSE and A level courses that encourage intellectual curiosity and independent thinking. Our scholar’s programme is one of the most innovative and progressive that you will find.

Pupils have a strong record in securing their first-choice universities, including Russell Group institutions in the UK and top international universities worldwide. We provide dedicated support for career planning, university applications and interview preparation ensuring pupils are well-equipped for their next steps.

We celebrate creating well-rounded, resilient young people. Pupils enjoy and value the opportunity to participate in the range of physical and creative activities on offer through the highly regarded enrichment programme and extracurricular activities. Extensive opportunities in music and performing arts provide pupils with platforms to perform, showcase and celebrate their creativity. Pupils have demonstrated their talents on big stages in the UK, internationally and in our own full-sized Victorian theatre.

Sports are a strong element of life at Tettenhall College. With a variety of traditional and non-traditional sports, our pupils have access to excellent facilities including sports fields, indoor swimming pool, squash courts, multi-purpose pitch and more. Pupils have gone on to sign for professional sports teams and represent their countries.

Our pastoral and wellbeing programme is at the heart of ensuring a safe and welcoming environment. Staff provide effective support and guidance. Knowing their pupils very well, they can respond to individual needs, whether academic, practical or emotional. The warm family-like atmosphere is tangible. From their very first steps in nursery, to preparation for life in sixth form, our pupils are part of the same tight-knit community throughout their journey. Our boarding community feel the school is truly a home away from home. International pupils thrive in our inclusive environment, contributing to the school’s vibrant cultural diversity.

Pupils leave Tettenhall College not only as well-prepared scholars but as confident, compassionate individuals, ready to make a meaningful impact on the world as they begin their next chapter. ...Read more
