Tamworth Enterprise College

Belgrave High School is a Comprehensive school in Tamworth, Staffordshire, which pupils attend from the ages of 11 to 18 years old. It is a member of the Specialist Schools Trust, having the Science & Mathematics college status.

The school was originally founded with just one building called "The White Block" in 1978, and in 1981 added the "New Block" for its additional pupils. The school canteen was originally placed in the White Block but was later moved to a more central location within the school. The area that was occupied by the old canteen is now used for classroom teaching.

The school's current headteacher is Simon Turney. Parents and teachers have welcomed the changes he has brought to the school, including a purpose-built examination building, security fencing and high-tech CCTV. More importantly, he has drastically improved teaching and learning throughtout the school which is reflected in the most recent Ofsted inspection. students are offered a wide range of subjects throughout KS3 and KS4 including varied vocational courses taught at the Torc vocational centre. The Governmental department Ofsted, gave Belgrave a grade 4 "Good" rating in their last inspection, in 2009. Belgrave was the first school to gain such status under the current criteria and is currently the only school within tamworth to be judged as 'good'.
