From the Queensbridge School
The most diverse school in Birmingham is undoubtedly Queensbridge School. Because all student groups perform very well here, it is deemed to be great. Every chance is used to produce in-depth learning experiences that aim for academic achievement and each person's personal growth. As an 11鈥�16 school, we take pride in the accomplishments of our students, who have gone on to study at some of the best institutions in the nation and pursue employment in high-profile fields. The arts and sports also stand out as areas of strength, and we are renowned for our curricular innovation, especially in year 7. But what gives our young people a successful start in adulthood is the benefit of having them experience our diverse community in such a positive way. What a wonderful school! I appreciate how you helped my child grow and helped her learn both life lessons and scholastic material. 9th grade parent.
