Values & Ethos

City of Birmingham School is a place where staff care deeply about pupils and there is no such thing as a last chance. We have the highest aspirations and ambitions for our pupils and each and every one matters, every minute of every day.

Across our campuses we offer a broad curriculum, focussed on a variety of rich experiences that pupils may not have had the opportunity to access in their mainstream setting; outdoor education, residential trips, theatre visits and much more complement our focus on academic outcomes in English, Maths and Science.

Our main focus is to ensure that pupils are able to transition to the next stage of their education or training successfully; for younger pupils we hope that is another mainstream education setting, but wherever our pupils go they can be assured we will give them the support they require to make it a success.
