Haybridge High School and Sixth Form

About Haybridge High School and Sixth Form

Haybridge High School and Sixth Form is a mixed state secondary in Bromsgrove, Worcestershire, that is clearly in high demand. With 1,217 pupils on roll against a capacity of 1,366, the school is not quite full, but the oversubscription picture tells a different story. For the 2025/26 academic year, the school received 464 total applications for 207 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.24. Of those, 236 were first-preference applications, and 186 first-preference offers were made, meaning a significant number of families who put Haybridge first still missed out. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 11.5%, which is slightly below the national average for secondary schools and suggests a relatively less disadvantaged intake than many schools nationally. The school has no religious character and is led by headteacher Charlotte Mondon-Lines.

Academically, Haybridge performs well above the local authority average. Its Progress 8 score of 0.39 is rated as 'Above average' nationally and places it 3rd out of 47 schools in Worcestershire, well ahead of the LA average of -0.21. The school ranks 1st in the Bromsgrove local area out of 5 schools. At Key Stage 4, the Attainment 8 score is 54.4, and 84.8% of pupils achieved a grade 4 or above in English and maths. The EBacc entry rate is very high at 94.9%, with 53.4% of pupils achieving the EBacc at grade 4 or above. In the sixth form, the value-added score is 0.21, also rated 'Above average', with an average points per entry of 34.52 (equivalent to a C+ grade). The best three A-levels average out at a B- grade, and 24.1% of entries achieved grades AAB or higher. The school's most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022 rated it Good across all areas, including behaviour and leadership, a downgrade from its previous Outstanding rating in 2008.

The school offers a broad range of facilities, including a swimming pool, sports hall, astro turf, tennis courts, theatre, and a dedicated sixth form centre. Sports on offer include rugby, netball, football, swimming, and gymnastics, while clubs range from Drama and Orchestra to Model UN, Coding, and the Duke of Edinburgh's Award. Haybridge has a comprehensive SEND provision, supporting pupils with specific learning difficulties like dyslexia, autistic spectrum disorder, and speech, language and communication needs. For families considering Haybridge, the data paints a picture of a high-performing, academically ambitious school that is very popular locally. The oversubscription means a realistic chance of a place is not guaranteed even for first-preference applicants, so it is a school to research carefully and visit if possible. It will particularly suit families who value strong academic outcomes, a wide extracurricular offer, and a sixth form with proven added value.
