About Church Hill Middle School

Church Hill Middle School in Redditch is a state-funded mixed secondary for pupils aged 9 to 13, and its intake figures tell an interesting story. The school currently has 450 pupils on roll against a capacity of 360, meaning it is operating significantly over its official limit. That oversubscription is a clear signal of demand from local families. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 37.6%, which is well above the national average for secondary schools and suggests the school serves a community with higher-than-average levels of economic disadvantage. Despite this, the school has held a Good rating from Ofsted across both its most recent inspections, including an ungraded visit in June 2024 that confirmed the school remains Good. The headteacher is Laura Jarvis, and the school has no religious character.
