Edgbaston High School for Girls

Conveniently located in a leafy suburb of Edgbaston with close access to the city, we provide a 21st century education based on traditional values. We are a lively, happy, caring community in which every girl is valued as an individual: every facet of her abilities and talents is carefully considered and developed.

Edgbaston High is an ambitious school, providing a broad, modern and inspiring education. We aim to give girls the confidence, independence and motivation to succeed, here and throughout their lives.

A good education should, of course, include achieving excellent qualifications, and our dedicated staff help girls expand their academic horizons and realise their potential. However, at EHS, we believe children should never be defined by their exam results. An outstanding education goes far beyond this. It inspires young people to achieve in many areas, and to enjoy the process as much as the end result.

We also teach students to understand the impact they have on others, and the responsibility they have to give their time and talents to the wider community. We foster an environment where girls can expand their minds, think flexibly, develop leadership skills and grow as individuals. They should be – and deserve to be – empowered, inspired and challenged throughout their education, so they leave school fully equipped to succeed in whatever they decide to pursue.

EHS pupils never fail to impress me with their achievements and the genuine desire to help others. This truly is a school that lives by its motto, Fideliter, Fortiter, Feliciter, ‘Faithfully, Boldly, Successfully’

In our vibrant, friendly environment, your child will see just how much she can achieve. As her academic, social and creative abilities grow, we encourage her to express her individuality, find her independence and follow her intellectual curiosity. Most importantly, when she leaves us, she’ll be ready to face any situation in life, with confidence, resilience and self-reliance. Ready to fulfil her ambitions, without limits.

We are a purposeful and vibrant community of girls, teachers and support staff, providing a 21st century education based on traditional values. Our aim is to provide the highest quality of education for girls at every stage of their development. This is achieved through an energetic and encouraging approach to the full education and development of each individual and by wide commitment to the strong community at the School's heart. It is supported by abundant and excellent resources which complement good teaching and a culture of learning in all areas of the School.

Schools are places of growth. We strive to provide every opportunity for this from Westbourne to the Sixth Form. We want girls to be so stimulated and challenged during their time here that they not only meet but exceed expectations. Those expectations combine the many successes of academic and extra-curricular life with high personal standards of integrity, care and commitment.

Our mission is to nurture confident, considerate and intellectually curious young women. In a stimulating and supportive environment, each girl, from our youngest to our most senior pupil, is recognised as an individual and is encouraged to explore and develop every facet of her abilities and talents so that she leaves EHS with the academic qualifications, traditional values and social skills that will enable her to succeed in an ever-changing world.

Our Aims:

• Inspire a life-long passion for learning, to encourage a thirst for knowledge and to provide each girl with the opportunity of becoming an independent learner.
• Deliver education of the highest standard via a comprehensive programme of study consisting of a broad and balanced core curriculum complemented and enriched by a wide variety of extra-curricular pursuits.
• Ensure that every girl gains not only academic qualifications but also the social and technical skills needed for living and working in an ever-changing world and develops values and interests which will enrich her life and enable her to make a valuable contribution to the school and the wider community.
• Provide a caring pastoral system, which supports mental health and wellbeing, enabling every girl to grow in stature and confidence, to develop her character and demonstrate her talents and to take on roles of leadership and responsibility.
• Foster a strong sense of community in which girls are helped to develop a respect for religious and moral values and an appreciation of caring, respectful and tolerant attitudes which will enable them to live in harmony with all members of society.
