Welcome to King Edward VI Handsworth Wood Girls’ Academy. Our academy is dedicated to achieving excellence for all, and we take pride in our diversity, inclusivity, and commitment to serving our local community and students. Our students are truly remarkable, and it is an honour to work with them. We believe in equity for all and constantly strive to eliminate any barriers our students may face. Our staff are unwavering in their dedication.

At HWGA, we nurture strong, resilient, considerate, and articulate young women. Our team is devoted to providing the highest quality education, which always includes exceptional teaching and compassionate, comprehensive pastoral care. Our holistic approach ensures our students receive support and experiences that prepare them to compete on a global scale. As a World Class School, we incorporate the High Performance language and ethos in everything we do.

Located in the heart of Birmingham, we benefit from the city’s innovation and rich cultural diversity. Our students are creative, resilient, and full of character. Our shared mission with the King Edward VI trust is to make Birmingham the best place for education, which shapes our approach and belief in our students. They are incredible and will always be our greatest achievement.

If you would like to come and see the Academy in action please contact us by phone, our website, or via email at enquiry@hwga.org.uk and we will be delighted to show you around our Academy, which we are extremely proud of.
