A Word from the Head

Tettenhall offers your son or daughter extensive opportunities within a lively and caring environment.

The high standard of pastoral care associated with boarding is experienced by boarders and day pupils alike.

Those living at home also benefit from the wide range of activities provided for the resident community after school and at weekends.

The emphasis in the school is on the needs of the individual. Each pupil is encouraged to find his or her own niche and to develop his or her own special talents. The academic programme is tailored to challenge the able whilst still being accessible to the less gifted. The diverse range of cultural and sporting pursuits on offer provides a suitable interest for every taste.

Central to the School's philosophy is the recognition that the pupils are educated at Tettenhall in partnership with their parents. We hope that you will be closely involved with us in equipping your child with good academic qualifications, practical life skills and a lasting set of values.
