Ethos & Aims

In a purposeful atmosphere for learning, personal and academic growth are enhanced by the richness of opportunity offered through a broad and progressive curriculum and stimulating extra-curricular programme.

Pastoral care is an integral part of every aspect of school life, and works hand-in-hand with academic success. Much emphasis is placed on enthusiastic involvement in sport, music, House and other community activities. During her time at EHS each girl is provided with the skills for a successful and satisfying life.

At Edgbaston High School we aim:

1. To inspire a life-long passion for learning, to encourage a thirst for knowledge and to provide each girl with the opportunity of becoming an independent learner.

2. To deliver education of the highest standard via a comprehensive programme of study consisting of a broad and balanced core curriculum complemented and enriched by a wide variety of extra-curricular pursuits.

3. To ensure that every girl gains not only academic qualifications but also the social and technical skills needed for living and working in an ever-changing world and develops values and interests which will enrich her life and enable her to make a valuable contribution to the school and the wider community.

4. To provide a caring pastoral system and a supportive environment which enable every girl to grow in stature and confidence, to develop her character and demonstrate her talents and to take on roles of leadership and responsibility.

5. To foster a strong sense of community in which girls are helped to develop a respect for religious and moral values and an appreciation of caring, respectful and tolerant attitudes which will enable them to live in harmony with all members of society.
