Tettenhall College

A quintessentially British boarding school, nestled in the leafy English village
of Tettenhall, yet within proximity of Wolverhampton and the UK’s second
city, Birmingham. Tettenhall College provides a safe, and inspiring learning
environment which nurtures each child’s natural gifts and guides them
to reach their true potential, encompassed within 33 acres of protected,
ancient woodland.

Tettenhall College is a ‘home from home’; boarders are welcomed into
modern, newly renovated, well equipped single-sex boarding houses, each
with its own dedicated House Parent who live in School with their own
families. Round the clock medical and pastoral care ensures that each
child feels happy and secure, and our in-house catering team serves a wide
variety of tasty and healthy cuisines for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Each
boarding house has its own kitchen in which students can prepare their own
meals and snacks. The seven-day boarding activity programme is busy and
diverse and encourages each child’s immersion into school life, including:
trips to historic towns and locations, visits to museums and theme parks
and activities such as mountain biking and indoor climbing.
Tettenhall College believes that extracurricular activities are the
cornerstone of a well-rounded education and that it fosters social and
team working skills. Every child is certain to find activities which will suit
them; from our own heated, indoor swimming pool, to squash courts,
rugby, cricket and football pitches, extensive music department, art
studio and our Victorian-era performance theatre at the heart of the
school site. The theatre underpins the ethos of expression and personality
that the school encourages.

Tettenhall College believes that creative and expressive arts truly
inform and foster learning, whilst developing key life skills such as public
speaking and improvisation. There’s also a multitude of clubs to join, from
orchestras, bands, and language clubs to film society, fencing, drama, and
chess. Academic attainment is consistently high, with over 50% of A level
students attending the country’s most sought after British Russell Group
universities, as well as those abroad.

Each student in Senior School partakes in the ‘Pathways Programme’
which introduces them to a wide variety of career and educational
opportunities and helps them set out their own career path. Joining
Tettenhall College welcomes you to the global ‘TC Family’, an international
network of former pupils located in the UK and everywhere from Australia
to the United States, working in countless industries and professions. Many
students return to the School for the annual alumni events and are keen to
share their advice and expertise at our career events.
