Introduction

Holly Lodge High School College Of Science is part of the South Sandwell Consortium, which allows students to access a large number of programmes with a variety of exciting course combinations. Working in collaboration with Oldbury College of Sport and Perryfields High School each campus has a specialism for a curriculum area. You can combine a core curriculum with quality pastoral care within their home campus with a range of course combinations, or where programmes may operate over two campuses, transport between each campus is organised to ensure safe and reliable movement of learners.

Holly Lodge High School College of Science became the first of two Health Innovation Schools in the country in September 2005. This exciting initiative has allowed the school to develop quality specialist Post-16 courses in the areas of both health and science, that include a collaborative delivery with the local Primary Care and Hospital Trusts, Sandwell College and Shireland Language College.

The specialist courses on offer are ideally suited to students that seek progression routes into work within the health or social care sectors, either through higher education, further education and training or directly into employment.

Holly Lodge High School College Of Science is Designated a DfES Health Innovation School.
