Parrs Wood High School is a popular oversubscribed mixed 11-18 community school with a thriving Sixth Form that has a proven record of academic excellence.

Parrs Wood is truly comprehensive. It is a multi-cultural, multi-faith school with a broad range of ability levels. It has an excellent local, national and international reputation. The school is at the heart of the local community and its facilities are used by a wide range of community groups including being a base for the Bobby Charlton International Summer School programme.

Parrs Wood is proud of its place in the community. We believe that our strong links with local primary schools, further and higher education providers and local businesses are of significant benefit to our students.

We have a large, flourishing Sixth Form housed in the unique atmosphere of a beautiful Georgian Villa Parrs Wood House. The new facilities provide spacious teaching rooms and study facilities with the advantages of a college setting within a supportive and structured environment. A separate prospectus is available for the Sixth Form Centre.

As an 11-18 school, it is our expectation and hope that the vast majority of our pupils will remain with us into the sixth form to achieve the level 3 qualifications they desire to enter Higher Education, an apprenticeship or the workplace.

Ofsted judged Parrs Wood Sixth Form to be good and particularly praised the `strong community spirit engendered’, `effective leadership’ and `strong care, guidance and support’.
