Hillcrest School and Sixth Form Centre

Welcome to Hillcrest School & Sixth Form Centre Website. Hillcrest is an 11-16 girls’ school with a mixed sixth form located on an extensive green field site in south west Birmingham.

At Hillcrest, we provide each student with the opportunity to achieve their full potential in both academic and social terms. We hope within these pages you will discover something of how we combine the best of traditional values with the very latest in teaching methods and technologies to inspire our students to succeed in everything they do.

We have very high expectations of our students, and great emphasis is placed on self-discipline; self-respect; hard work; achievement and high standards of behaviour.

Hillcrest School and Sixth Form Centre is a safe and respectful learning environment where every child is valued as an individual with unique talents and ambitions.

• we are an outward looking and confident community, actively promoting the fundamental British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, mutual respect, and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs
• are a happy, responsible and fair school respected by the community;
• improve our environment to meet the educational demands of the twenty-first century;
• raise expectations and achievement for all;
• prepare everyone for the challenges of modern Britain and a changing world; and
• develop a passion for life-long learning.
  We believe our school is an ideal size, since it is large enough to provide a full range of subjects and to enable us to employ specialist teachers, but not so large that the individual becomes lost in the crowd.

Hillcrest is committed to ensuring all members of our learning community have equal opportunities to achieve their potential.

Our equality objectives ensure that we

• eliminate all forms of discrimination in line with the Equality Act 2010
• improve equality of opportunity for people with protected characteristics
• consult and involve those affected by inequality in the decisions we make to promote equality and eliminate discrimination
