Colton Hills Community School is a mixed secondary school and sixth form situated in the Goldthorn Park area of Wolverhampton, West Midlands, England.
It has over 950 pupils on its roll, including sixth formers. It is situated halfway between Goldthorn Park and Colton Hills. Park Hill is to the east, and the school is close to the LEA boundary with Dudley (Sedgley). Access is via the A4039, to the north, and is not far from the A449, to the west.
Wolverhampton Municipal Grammar School was on Newhampton Road East, run by Wolverhampton Education Committee and was co-educational, when Wolverhampton was in Staffordshire. The building is now the Newhampton Centre of City of Wolverhampton College. It was known as the Higher Grade School from 1894–1921, and Wolverhampton Municipal Secondary School from 1921-45. From 1977, the building was used by Valley Park School until 1989.
The school was commonly known as the Muni, and its motto was Post Tenebras Lux, which means 'Out of Darkness Comes Light" which is also the motto of the City of Wolverhampton itself'.
Graiseley Secondary School was a coeducational secondary modern school, formed in 1963. It is now Graiseley Primary School on Graiseley Hill. There had been a Graiseley Boys' Secondary School and a Graiseley Girls' Secondary School. Penn Secondary School was on Manor Road in Penn.
Colton Hills School was formed in September 1974 from a merger of Graiseley and Penn secondary modern schools in the Graiseley district of Wolverhampton and Wolverhampton Municipal Grammar School in Whitmore Reans. It initially existed within the buildings of these two schools before relocating to the site at Goldthorn Park during 1975, on land which Wolverhampton had gained from Sedgley in the local government reorganisation of 1966.
