Colton Hills Community School is a mixed, non-denominational community secondary school and sixth form for pupils aged 11-18, based in the south of Wolverhampton, West Midlands.
At Colton Hills we believe that every child is entitled to the highest quality learning experience, irrespective of their starting point. There are no barriers to high achievement and no excuses for not succeeding. In every lesson students are exposed to powerful knowledge and culturally rich experiences.
Our values are based on:
PRIDE : Participation, Respect, Integrity, Diversity, Excellence
Colton Hills has been judged as a ‘Good’ school in the latest Ofsted inspection in 2023. We are proud to share His Majesty’s inspection team recognised the respectful, inclusive and aspirational environment in school, reporting that “staff share a strong focus on removing any barriers that pupils may have”.
The inspection team were impressed with the school’s curriculum and the quality of the teaching and noted “subjects often exceed the requirements of the national curriculum.” Leaders have developed an effective personal, social and health education (PSHE) curriculum and “adapt the programme to respond to local and national concerns.”
The report also highlights the “positive relationships between staff and pupils”, and how Sixth Form students are active in the life of school in various ways.
