South Bromsgrove High School (SBHS) is a co-educational, secondary school and sixth form with academy status, located in Bromsgrove, Worcestershire, England. It is located opposite the housing estate of Charford. The school delivers to GCSE, and A level students from an area between Alvechurch and Malvern with around 1,350 students on roll.
A new set of buildings as part of a Private Finance Initiative was constructed to accommodate the increasing number of students and was officially opened by the Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex. The new school building is located on the playing fields of the former school. The facilities include two sports halls, a rooftop terrace for use by sixth formers, and a separate 6th form cafeteria.
There are three houses, based on Bromsgrove's heritage:
Each tutor group is placed into one of these houses and students remain in their assigned house for the duration of their time at the school. Competitions between the houses are held frequently throughout the year ranging from all aspects such as sports, academia and attendance.
The school holds an annual Eisteddfod, taking place over two evenings. The PE evening comprises dance and sports competitions, and the Arts evening includes choirs, drama, and musical performances from each house. External judges are brought in from other schools to decide the winners of the arts awards.
The Basketball cup in the Eisteddfod competition is named the Josh Hanks Memorial Cup. This is in memory of a former student and basketball enthusiast who died in May 2009, during what would have been his final months of compulsory education at the school. In September 2009 Josh's younger brother joined the school.
SBHS holds the Successful Schools Project Award and the Investors in People Award as well as the Sports Mark Award, Basic Skills Quality Mark, Curriculum Award 2000, School Achievement Award 2000 & 2003, Arts Mark Gold (3 times), Charter Mark Award for Excellence, Careers Quality Mark in addition to three Leading Aspect Awards.
