We are a leading co-educational independent day school situated in Edgbaston, Birmingham. With a strong tradition of academic achievement, we offer an outstanding educational experience for all of our pupils. Our thriving community gives children here every opportunity to achieve and excel. The goal is to prepare them to engage effectively with the dynamic world unfolding around them, equipping them with the skills and confidence to grasp their opportunities, and the knowledge and sensitivity to recognize their responsibilities. Our school is a busy community that strives hard for high standards in all things and our staff is committed to providing our pupils with a true education for life.

For well-nigh 300 years, Blue Coat has been refining and evolving the quality of its education. It combines a rigorous, cutting-edge approach to learning with an extraordinary variety of extra-curricular activities it offers peerless pastoral support in an environment that encourages young men and women to grow in understanding. All of us know that choosing the right school can be a daunting process, one in which the emotional investment and financial commitment are considerable. At the same time, we believe that the rewards provided by inspirational teaching are immeasurable – as is the chance to live and learn within a community that is both challenging and supportive.

Experience also tells us that self-confidence is the key to long-term success. From the earliest years in Buttons Nursery until the responsibilities associated with Year 6. The Blue Coat Values play a central role in shaping the positive attitudes and actions of our children.
