Principal's Welcome

Welcome to Edgbaston College, Birmingham's highest-performing sixth form college. As Principal and founder, I'm incredibly proud of what we've built over the past eight years. When I established the college, I wanted to create something special: a place focused on getting the very best from every single student. Today, I believe we've achieved something remarkable.
Our value-added score of +0.59 in the most recent academic year makes us number one in Birmingham and 25th in England. What does this mean for your child? Students who might be predicted mid-B/BBB grades elsewhere are achieving AAA with us.
That's what happens when you combine small classes, exceptional teaching, and genuine individual attention.
