With a history dating back to 1863, Tettenhall College has played a significant role in educating young people from across the region and today provides a stimulating learning environment for boys and girls, boarders and day pupils, from the age of 2-18. Academic success is a major focus across the whole School, with GCSE and A Level grades consistently above national averages. In 2019, 25% of pupils achieved A*, A or B in all of their subjects, with the majority of our pupils gaining places at their first choice of university, including some of the top institutions in the country. At GCSE, 75% achieved Grades 9-4 (A*-C)” including English and Mathematics. 124
However, for a non-selective school, an equally important measure of success is ‘value-added’, which compares pupils’ predicted grades at entry to the School with actual grades achieved at 16. On this measure, Tettenhall College is also above many of the highly selective state and independent schools in the country. Our small class sizes ensure that the most able pupils receive the necessary stretch to flourish whilst those requiring support receive it - at no extra cost. The emphasis at Tettenhall College is on a personalised education that develops the whole
person, both in and beyond the classroom with exceptional extracurricular opportunities that complement the rigorous academic environment. The School ensures that everyone will find their niche and grow in confidence. The School has come a long way since its foundation over 150 years ago, yet the traditional values and the wonderful historic setting remain the same.
