School philosophy: The school is built on a core vision and values through Tettenhall’s overarching mission for every pupil to release their potential and vision to provide an outstanding personalised education. It has a mission to nurture pupils to achieve their potential and discover their unique talents, to strive for excellence and foster self-belief. Pupils have the freedom to evolve creatively and develop future goals. The school community both fosters a safe and secure family environment and cultivates emotional intelligence.

Academic record: 100% of pupils were awarded five or more GCSEs at grades 9-4, including English and maths. More than 40% of the cohort achieved 10 or more GCSEs. Notably, two pupils who sat certain GCSEs early in year 10, individually achieved an impressive 11 GCSEs in total. In addition, a healthy proportion of pupils gained top grades 9-7 among their results.

Extracurricular: A full extended day programme is offered to senior school pupils. Wraparound care is offered in the preparatory school. The school runs an extensive sports programme for all ages, from swimming to squash, seasonal sports to fencing, with regular sporting fixtures and interschool matches organised too. The performing arts (music and drama) and art departments attract and nurture incredible talent too, winning pupils numerous accolades and entrances into specialist colleges and universities.

Notable achievements and alumni: Tettenhall College is rightly proud of its OTs from all eras, looking back to great achievements through the decades, from Olympians and politicians to, more recently, outstanding bravery shown in former pupils’ humanitarian work overseas.
