We offer Scholarships to children in Senior School who are particularly gifted and can demonstrate their exceptional ability. Scholarships offer a discount off our tuition fees and are awarded to children following an assessment:

For further information on Scholarships, their assessment criteria and how to apply, please contact our Registrar.

BURSARIES

Bursaries are offered to children from lower income families and are means tested rather than ability based. Families whose total income is below £60,000 can apply for a bursary by completing a financial circumstances form. The amount of the bursary will vary according to individual circumstances and will offer a contribution towards the tuition fees.

Tettenhall College welcomes applications from high quality teaching and support staff from all backgrounds.

Tettenhall College is staffed by highly qualified teachers and professionals whose primary focus is the development of our pupils. We pride ourselves on our happy, supportive atmosphere and our genuine interest in the well-being of our pupils.

Working at Tettenhall College is rewarding. The School is located in a stunning woodland setting and new members of staff receive a warm welcome and settle in quickly.

Every pupil belongs to a House, and our ‘vertical’ tutor groups are based on this system. Pupils have the opportunity to support their House by taking part in a variety of competitions, from quizzes and science to sports and performing arts.

They earn House points for good effort, good achievement, working particularly effectively (for example demonstrating good interpersonal skills in group work), attendance at an extra-curricular activity or special achievements. House points take the form of coloured plastic tokens engraved with a star, which pupils drop into clear acrylic boxes at Reception. This provides a quick and visual guide to which House is working best. 

The House system gives all of our pupils the opportunity to contribute and feel valued, and the range of competitions means that everyone can participate. It also provides leadership opportunities for House and team captains and ensures that older and younger pupils work together towards a common goal, reinforcing our strong sense of community.
