Welcome to Tettenhall College
Founded in 1863 by a local industrialist, Tettenhall College is an independent, co-educational day and boarding school providing continuous, quality education for children aged from 2 to 18 years.

Beyond the classroom, pupils have the opportunity to participate in a wide range of sporting, performance and co-curricular activities
The School stands in 30 acres of stunning grounds and woodland situated in the picturesque village of Tettenhall, on the outskirts of the city of Wolverhampton.
Our pupils are known for their positive approach, their appreciation of the staff, of their School and of their fellow pupils, their motivation to learn and their whole-hearted commitment to every aspect of school life. Tettenhall College, in turn, is committed to providing an outstanding personalised education, combining strong academic standards and a wide range of extra-curricular activities.
Academic results are consistently high. Pupils achieve very good GCSE and A Levels. The vast majority of Sixth Form leavers choose to go on to university with many selecting Russell Group institutions and a few each year opting for prestigious international options or competitive, sought-after apprenticeships with major companies. Beyond the classroom, pupils have the opportunity to participate in a wide range of sporting, performance and co-curricular activities, as well as being encouraged to engage in adventure and charitable causes.
The School is an active member of the Society of Heads, the Independent Schools Association and the Boarding Schools Association.
Working with us
The School combines the best of modern teaching and facilities with the heritage and values of a traditional educational establishment – both in its physical setting and in its ethos. A substantial, recently completed investment programme has created outstanding facilities for the next era of Tettenhall College: modern en-suite study-bedrooms, a state of the art Study Centre, a new Sixth Form Common Room, a library, a multi-purpose all-weather sports facility and squash courts. These investments complement the already impressive facilities of the Victorian ‘Towers Theatre’; a charming Victorian indoor heated swimming pool; extensive sports fields and modern IT facilities. A high grade investment in the School's largest boarding house is currently underway.
This commitment to providing the very best facilities is matched by the energy and passion of our inspirational, committed staff who strive to inspire and ensure that all pupils fulfil their personal best. Small class sizes throughout the School ensure individual attention for each pupil with emphasis on the development of the individual. This supportive environment has resulted in the School’s excellent reputation for pastoral care – confirmed by a recently awarded Well-Being Award. Support of those pupils who have additional learning needs, including EAL, is a critical element of the School’s offering.
This is an exciting time to join Tettenhall College; the leadership team are committed to continuing to increase the School’s profile both locally and within overseas markets. Pupil numbers have grown by 25% with a steady increase in boarding. Tettenhall College is now widely recognised as one of the Midlands’ leading independent schools and is progressing rapidly towards its goal of becoming one of the best small independent schools in the UK.
