Located in Bromsgrove, Worcestershire, South Bromsgrove High is a secondary school, classified by the DfE as a converter academy. The school educates roughly 1,355 pupils aged 13 to 18. Ofsted judged the school to be 'Good' at its most recent inspection.

That is down 2.6 points in its Attainment 8 score on the previous year.

46% of pupils achieved a grade 5 or above in both English and maths, in line with the national average of about 45%. 69% achieved a standard pass (grade 4+) in English and maths. The council's own allocation figures show the last child offered a place for 2026 lived 4.71 miles away in a straight line — that distance is not a fixed catchment and moves each year. After Year 11, 96% of its leavers went on to education, an apprenticeship or work that they stayed in for at least two terms. Overall pupil absence was 9.7%. There are about 18.0 pupils per teacher. Given the recent dip in results, it may be worth asking the school what is behind the change and what is being done in response.
