Mission statement/Aims

The Hodge Hill Sports and Enterprise College is an 11-16 co-educational school serving
a wide area to the north and east of the centre of Birmingham. It is an 8-form entry school
with approximately 1186 pupils on roll. In addition we run sixth form provision

The school serves a rich and diverse area with pupils coming from some 50 different
feeder schools. Liaison with feeder schools is very strong and goes well beyond transfer
arrangements. In many respects the school reflects the ethnic and cultural diversity of the
City of Birmingham. Some 56% of pupils come from ethnic minority communities —
this group is constituted of 46% from a broadly Asian background, 10% black/Afro-
Caribbean backgrounds while a further 6% come from a dual heritage background. Its
pupils span the range of socio-economic status, though significant proportions come from
homes suffering some disadvantage. At present 30 % of pupils qualify for a free school
meal.

Sixth Form

The school launched Sixth Form provision in September 2006, on a franchise basis in
partnership with Sutton College. There are no sixth form results available.
