Science Ofsted October 2011

"There is a palpable sense of willingness to learn, modelled by experienced teaching staff, subject and senior leaders."

 

A warm welcome to Bournville School and Sixth Form Centre. Bournville School is a coeducational, state comprehensive for students aged 11-19 years, situated in a pleasant residential area on the south west of the city. We are a Specialist Business Enterprise College and took on the second specialism of Music in 2007. We have a very attractive site with extensive playing fields and sports facilities. We also have a relatively new Sixth Form Centre with its own common room and study areas.

 

Since 2004 we have been classed as a High Performing Specialist School, due to the progress our students make over the five years of compulsory education, Y7-11. Evaluation of our Sixth Form results shows that we have excellent teaching which leads to equally high levels of progress. Not surprisingly, most of our students choose to stay on in our Sixth Form to continue their studies.
