Admissions
Bents Green School is a secondary school for young people age 11-19. We are a special needs school for young people with Autism Spectrum Condition and Communication and Interaction difficulties. All young people who attend Bents Green School have an Educational, Health, Care Plan (EHCP).
Bents Green School operates over four different sites:
Ringinglow Site:
For students in Y7-Y14. The Ringinglow curriculum has four pathways to match the needs and abilities of students within the Ringinglow site.
See Y7-Y11 Curriculum for further details.
Gleadless Site:
For students in Y7-Y11. The Gleadless curriculum has two pathways to match the needs and abilities of students within the Gleadless site.
See Y7-Y11 Curriculum for further details.
Enterprise Works Site:
For students in Y12-Y14. The Enterprise Works curriculum has three pathways to match the needs and abilities of students within the Enterprise Works site.
See Post-16 Curriculum for further details.
Westfield Hub:
Based at Westfield School, this is our specialist hub. Students here are on roll at Bents Green School but access Westfield School lessons. Students are supported to access mainstream lessons and follow GCSE courses. Students will have some lessons delivered within the Hub. However, we expect students to access at least 50% of mainstream lessons. Students who are selected to access the Hub provision are academically able to manage the GCSE curriculum and manage the sensory environment of a mainstream school.
See Westfield Hub Curriculum for further details.
Please note, our Hub provision will be moving to Handsworth Grange Community College from September 2025. For more information, please visit our Bents Green @ Handsworth Grange page.
