Welcome to Spring Hill School

We are a specialist school in Birmingham for young people aged 11-19 who require additional support to overcome barriers to learning, build confidence and achieve success. This includes those with social, emotional and mental health needs, autism, and mild learning difficulties. We strongly believe that all behaviour is a form of communication, and every young person deserves to feel valued and understood. Our school is built on a legacy of meaningful, enduring relationships and a shared commitment to helping each pupil discover their strengths and develop the skills to achieve their fullest potential.

OFSTED - Good Provider We are ambitious for every pupil. Academic achievement is important to us, but we aim to equip young people with the confidence, resilience, independence and life skills they need to thrive beyond school.  
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 carefully designed to provide meaningful learning experiences, support personal growth, and prepare students for successful and fulfilling adult lives.

Our team of committed staff take time to understand every pupil as an individual. Pupils at Spring Hill are encouraged to develop their voice, make positive contributions to the school community and take pride in their achievements, whether those achievements are academic, social, vocational or personal.

We work collaboratively with families and other partners to ensure that every pupil gets the support and the opportunities they need. Our approach to learning is informed by relational practice, attachment awareness, trauma-informed principles and a neurodivergent-affirming understanding of individual differences.

Spring Hill School provides a safe, nurturing and structured environment where young people are supported to grow in confidence, maturity and independence.

Chris Delahaye - Interim Head TeacherI am immensely proud of our pupils, staff and our school community. It is a privilege to lead a school where everything that we do is underpinned by strong relationships, high aspirations and a genuine commitment to every young person. Together, we strive to create a culture where everyone feels a sense of belonging, where high expectations are matched by high levels of support, and where every young person is empowered to build a positive and successful future.

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about our school.

Our Educational Approach

Our Approach

Spring Hill High School has a very personalised approach to education that focuses on the holistic development of the child. This simply means that the school develops, with the student and their parent/carer/foster carer/social worker, a personalised programme of education that is designed to meet the complex needs of the student. Our approach is child-centred and is based on elements of Social Learning Theory, Cognitive Behaviour Theory and to some extent the Psychologically Informed Environment(PIE).

Curriculum

At Spring Hill High School our aim is to provide learning opportunities that will develop our students to become responsible, respectful, confident, independent, young adults who make a positive contribution to, and are prepared for life beyond Spring Hill High School. We do this by making all students follow a personalised curriculum based on prior attainment data, CEM data, For Skills data,  student aspirations and challenging targets. All students will be actively involved in British Values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect of those with different faiths and beliefs.
