Hall Green School is a very popular, heavily oversubscribed and academically successful 11-16 academy.  We are a highly diverse institution, both ethnically and as a fully accessible mainstream school, attracting pupils from across the city with physical disabilities.  We have wonderful pupils who fully contribute to the school’s caring, nurturing and inclusive culture: “Pupils live up to the school’s values of ‘learning with compassion, ambition, responsibility and excellence’.  Pupils behave well and have positive attitudes to their work.” (Ofsted 2025)

The school is part of the newly formed West Midlands Academy Trust (WMAT) which opened in January 2025.  As one of the three founding members, the school has been integral to forming the Trust’s mission:
