About Solihull College & University Centre

Solihull College & University Centre is a 16-99 state secondary in Solihull, and its headline metrics immediately set it apart from the local authority average. The LA average Progress 8 score for secondary schools in Solihull is -0.12, which is slightly below the national average of zero. This college, however, serves a very different cohort: it is a further education institution with a broad age range, not a traditional 11-16 or 11-18 school, so direct Progress 8 comparisons are not straightforward. What stands out is that the college operates in a local authority where only two of 17 secondary schools hold an Outstanding rating from Ofsted, and the nearest Outstanding school, St Peter's Catholic School, is just half a kilometre away. This proximity to a top-rated school suggests the area is educationally competitive, yet Solihull College & University Centre carves its own niche by offering post-16 and adult education, including university-level courses, which is a different proposition from the GCSE-focused schools around it.
