We are situated in a semi-rural setting some twelve miles south west of Birmingham. The village of Hagley is within close proximity to the national motorway network and on a train line from Worcester to Birmingham, yet still enjoys views of the Clent Hills and beautiful surrounding countryside.

As a Catholic School we believe that everyone is uniquely formed in the image of God and we are called to live, learn and serve in Jesus' name, by living out the Gospel values and following the compassion of Christ. Consequently, the Hagley family is a warm, caring, nurturing and generous one, in which all students, staff, parents, carers, and visitors feel part of.

Our Patron saint is the Catholic martyr, Saint Nicholas Owen, and the school is divided into houses named after saints Anselm, Bede, Chad, Gregory, Kenelm and Wulstan.

Hagley Catholic High School is a good school and the recent OFSTED inspection of October 2019 under the new inspection framework confirmed this.

Inspectors commented very positively under a very robust and challenging new framework. They reported that:

• This is a friendly school where pupils are safe and well cared for.
• Leaders have high expectations of how pupils should behave, and pupils behave well.
• Pupils are proud of their school and they take pride in themselves.
• Pupils achieve well...
• Leaders make sure that topics are taught in a logical order and teachers make deliberate links to what pupils have learned before.
• Pupils are well behaved in lessons. They are keen to learn, and they take pride in their work.

We are part of Emmaus Catholic Multi Academy Company who are a family of schools united in Christ and working as one, to provide the very best Catholic education, faith formation and personal growth, rooted in Gospel values.

Today, there are 10 schools in our family, one secondary, nine primary schools, including a Teaching School, spanning the Birmingham, Dudley, Sandwell and Worcestershire Local Authorities.  We have over 3000 children, over 400 staff and over 100 Directors and Local Governors.

Our Aim: To provide an education through which pupils can acquire life skills, attitudes and values which will prepare them to become free, responsible and active members of society, making the Church’s mission present to all by the example of their lives; To create a community which promotes tolerance, respect and sensitivity to the needs of others so that pupils realise their duties and responsibilities to their neighbour as well as their personal rights and freedoms; In summary our school aims to be a school to which children wish to come, to which parents wish to send their children and where teachers wish to teach.
