Cockshut Hill School is a secondary school in the Yardley area of Birmingham, England. The Principal of the school is Mr Jason Bridges who took over from Mrs Sian Hartle in 2016.
The school is built on the site of Cockshut Hill Council School which opened in 1937 for juniors and infants. Senior Boys and Senior Girls Departments opened in 1941 and these became separate schools in 1945. The Junior and Infants Department was divided into two departments in 1943. The Infant Department closed in 1957 and the Junior Mixed Department closed in 1958. The former Senior Boys and Senior Girls Departments later became the Cockshut Hill Technology College and now from 2016, Cockshut Hill School an Ninestiles Academy.
Cockshut Hill is a fully developed nine-form entry 11-19 mixed comprehensive situated to the southeast of Birmingham in a residential area near the border with Solihull.

The teaching staff is in excess of 90 and the large non-teaching staff includes campus personnel, finance officer, clerical staff, technicians, student support staff, teaching assistants and lunchtime supervisors.
