 Hall Green School is a very popular, heavily oversubscribed and academically successful 11-16 Converter 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 ethos.  Likewise, staff work hard to ensure “there is always an adult on hand whom they [pupils] feel they can talk to and who will listen to them (Ofsted 2025).  As a school, we pride ourselves on being warm, inclusive and welcoming where positive relationships are at the centre of what we do.

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:

• Relentless focus upon delivering an excellent Quality of Education, resulting in strong progress and attainment for all groups of pupils.
• Emphasis upon personal development and well-being for staff and pupils.
