Our students describe the college atmosphere as warm, friendly, and incredibly welcoming. At Edgbaston College, we want every student in our care to thrive and take full advantage of all available opportunities, and we take this responsibility very seriously. Underpinning all our work is an excellent system of safeguarding and pastoral care centred around each student: Personal Tutors and our Pastoral Team provide regular one-to-one guidance throughout their time at the College. Everyone is welcome, and all are valued and nurtured here. 

Beyond the classroom, we nurture diverse hobbies and interests with a dynamic extracurricular programme of events, trips, and clubs. From weekly football and chess clubs to termly social outings, Edgbaston College is vibrant and engaging. 

Our campus, situated in the leafy suburb of Edgbaston, Birmingham, features beautifully restored period buildings. This charming yet central location, near the University of Birmingham, boasts excellent bus, tram, and train connections.
