Background:

Hagley Roman Catholic High School was built in the late 1950's with numerous subsequent building programmes. The buildings are fronted by school playing fields. The village of Hagley is in close proximity. This is a co-educational 11-18 voluntary aided Catholic comprehensive school operating within the Arcdiocese of Birmingham and in partnership with Worcestershire county council. The school was opened in a beautiful semi-rural setting in 1959 to serve the Catholic community of northwest Worcestershire. There are many opportunities for pupils to become involved in extra-curricular activities. Pupils may join clubs to develop their interests in IT or science during lunchtime or after school. Sports and music are very popular in the school. Music enjoys a high profile at Hagley. There is a school orchestra, choir and a jazz group. This school aims to provide an education through which pupils can acquire life skills, attitudes and values that 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.
