Welcome to Spring Hill School
Spring Hill School is a specialist school in Birmingham for young people aged 11–19 with social, emotional and mental health needs, autism, and mild to moderate learning difficulties. Some of our pupils present with behaviour that challenges, and we strongly believe that all behaviour is a form of communication.
We are a small school, registered for 50 pupils, which allows us to provide highly personalised learning through small class sizes and a high level of adult support. This enables staff to build strong relationships with pupils and tailor learning to individual needs. In July 2025, Spring Hill School was judged Good by Ofsted. In July 2025 we were rated Good by OFSTED.
As part of Gracebridge Care and Education, we recognise that our pupils face a range of barriers to learning.
Our curriculum is therefore designed to be motivating, purposeful and aspirational, celebrating every step of progress while developing key communication, functional, social and life skills to prepare pupils for adulthood.
We place great importance on working in partnership with parents, carers and professionals. These relationships are essential in supporting pupils’ learning, wellbeing and mental health. Parents and carers are always welcome to engage with the school and discuss their child’s progress or any concerns.
Spring Hill School provides a safe, nurturing and structured environment where young people are supported to grow in confidence, maturity and independence.
We are proud of our achievements, with Ofsted recognising that leaders have “crafted a high-quality and appropriate curriculum” and that the progress pupils make during their time with us is “considerable”.
We remain committed to raising standards further and ensuring every pupil leaves Spring Hill School with the skills, confidence and opportunities they deserve.
