Welcome to Highclare School

Highclare School is an Independent Day School. It is based on 3 separate sites within Sutton Coldfield and Erdington, situated in the heart of the West Midlands and within easy travelling distance of Birmingham City Centre and surrounding business centres.


Highclare’s ethos is to Achieve Individual Excellence for each pupil and to inspire all pupils to aim for the best results they can. Excellent results at GCSE and A level are consistently achieved, so please take a look at our Results page.


The traditional values that have sustained the school since 1932 are still relevant today and there is a strong emphasis on discipline, independent learning, respect for others and motivation to succeed. Throughout the school, alongside a strong academic curriculum, there is plenty of opportunity for pupils to experience life in the modern world, with extra curricular activities, clubs, sports and music and drama.


Originally begun in 1932 as a highly respected Girls’ School, a change in strategy throughout the year groups means we are now able to offer education to both boys and girls from 18 months to 18 years. A strong family atmosphere is maintained with small classes and high pupil staff ratios from Nursery through to Sixth Form.


Highclare receives regular inspections from the Independent Schools Inspection Service and the latest Inspection Report is available here. The ISI is part of the Independent Schools Council. For further information please see the ISC website.


During their time at Highclare School, pupils will realise their strengths and achieve high standards in their chosen fields. Why not visit during one of the many Open or Taster Days.


We look forward to welcoming you to Highclare School and if you need any further information, please call us on 0121 373 7400.

Achieving individual excellence.
