The 30 Best School in Birmingham

“Absolutely fantastic school. would recommend to ANY child. But would highly recommend if you feel your child is slightly behind, needs that extra support, it's a nurturing school. The teachers are so on the ball. With each and every child. and i personally could not thank them enough for everything they have done for my son. And still continue to do. My son use to struggle to want to go to his old school he would cry get anxiety even make himself sick.But now every morning his waiting at the hall door at 8 o'clock waiting for breakfast club.the teachers really go above and beyond so thank you amington heath.”

“How many times have you heard someone moan about that fact that young people don’t want to work? Well they clearly have not been here, everyone is so enthusiastic, the team work hard to ensure candidates are matched well with the skills that the employer needs, and they are a hard working and dedicated team. If you want a bright and energetic person in your workforce, then look no further.”

“Lovely school with some amazing teachers. My daughter is in her last year at Yardley and will truely miss this little school.”

“Great school. Very nice atmosphere. My brothers love it there and are actually excited about attending although it’s a Sunday. The staff are very friendly and my brother enjoys the activities he does in lesson while learning. The curriculum is very educational. Overall great experience and my brothers love attending Al Kauthar School more than their normal school!”

“Selly Oak Nursery is a truly special place. Every member of staff is so dedicated to ensuring the individual need of each child is met and they go above and beyond to provide a varied, engaging and positive experience for all the children. Nursery has an amazing Forest School which provides a wonderful outdoor learning opportunity each week and has proved a favourite with both of my girls. Home/School partnership is valued and the IMPACT sessions and material provided throughout the year is really helpful. Communication is excellent and Key Workers are easily contactable and always on hand to offer support and advice. My second daughter is currently at SONS and even throughout these challenging times that COVID restrictions have placed upon Nursery, they have still maintained the outstanding curriculum, care and support that every Parent would wish for their child. Thank you to all.”

“When I was looking for a driving instructor I did my home work and this school kept getting the best reviews and they weren't wrong. Danny is an excellent teacher with years of experience and indepth knowledge. He is encouraging, patient and he will develop the skills, techniques and confidence you need to pass your driving test. So grateful for all his work and support. Thanks Danny.”

“There are not enough positive adjectives we can use as a family to describe how we feel about Penelope’s Dance Studio. From the moment I contacted and spoke to Miss Penelope on the phone to the way she teaches with such visible passion is second to none. My 3 teenage daughters are new to the school, having done ballet since they were 2 years old and yet we feel like we have been part of it for years. We have been made to feel like part of the family, the whole vibe and experience is truly wonderful. The outstanding quality of teaching, real life expertise and an unrivalled technique and approach has shown in all of our daughters progression in the last few weeks. The addition of Miss Kate and Alex to add to the variance of experience, skill and talent for the girls is amazing. The entire place feels personal, filled with passion, kindness, nurturing of children and of excellent teaching quality and we are delighted to be a part of it! Thank you to the whole team x”

“I have been training at GB Birmingham for over 1.5 years and the experience has been great. The staff and the instructors are very supportive and knowledgeable. I’ve made great friends, built a practical skill set and massively developed as a person. Highly recommend!”

“We have been using Second Nature and can honestly say that the improvement in the swimming ability of our children is remarkable. Our instructor, Katalina, is wonderful in engaging the children, initially making sure they were confident and safe in the water before moving on to teach them the usual swimming strokes. Being safe in the water in a short space of time allowed our children to have the best holiday yet as they were able to move about in the water independently and gave us the peace of mind that swimming accidents would be reduced so more relaxing all round. All in all, well worth the investment.”

“We had our Christmas party here last night at the Christmas party night - and that it was. The whole night was fantastic - from being greeted on the car park to the amazing meal to the bar, the staff, the disco - it was all fabulous. The team were so professional and attentive, a real credit to The School House . The meal - wow, everyone commented on how beautiful the meal was. The disco - great music, great dj- really got the party going. We all had such a lovely night. On behalf of us all thank you for the best Christmas party we’ve had, we will definitely see you next year”

“Just went in with a query due to our chosen school not having the size we’d originally wanted. Staff are lovely and friendly, helped us then and there in the shop and gave advice for best care of uniform! Will definitely be using PB sports for all uniform needs!!”

“This is a lovely nursery, both my daughter & my son have attended here, the nursery is a safe & fun environment for children to learn & develop. The staff are all amazing & are very attentive to very childs needs. I would highly recommend this nursery to anyone thinking of sending their child.”

“S4 Swimming School is truly a standout in swim education! From the moment you walk in, it's clear that they prioritize not only skill development but also creating a fun, safe, and supportive environment for swimmers of all ages. The lessons are tailored to individual needs, and the instructors are patient, knowledgeable, and passionate about what they do. A special shoutout goes to Steph, the manager, who is nothing short of amazing. She is organized, approachable, and ensures that every detail is taken care of seamlessly. Whether it's scheduling lessons or addressing any concerns, Steph goes above and beyond to make sure that both parents and swimmers feel confident and cared for. Her warmth and professionalism really set the tone for the whole program. If you're looking for a swimming school that excels in every aspect, S4 is the place to be!”

“Before I came here, I’d been out of education for two years and was in an awful state — mentally, emotionally, and academically. I’d lost all sense of direction and self-belief. But from the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with open arms, supported in ways I’d never experienced, and treated with kindness, respect, and genuine care. The staff didn’t just help me catch up — they built a space for me to thrive. They went as far as putting a subject on the curriculum just for me because they saw something in me worth nurturing. That subject changed everything. I’d never been encouraged like that before, and it gave me the confidence and tools to believe I could have a future. They nurtured me, challenged me, and above all, they loved me. That’s not something you can fake. This school believed in me so much that I started to believe in myself — and now, I’m proud to say I am studying acting at university in LONDON. That would never have happened without them. While I was here, I had the honour of being school captain and vice school captain.— something I never thought I’d be capable of. That role helped me grow even more, and I’m still proud of everything we achieved together as a school community. They nominated me for a young artist of the year award and I won it!! This school didn’t just educate me. It saved me”

“This is a lovely riding school my daughter is 8 and can already canter her progress from this riding school and the confidence that they give to people is insane my daughter went from a leader to no leader in cantering in no time she told me her favourite horse is iguana because he is come nice and peaceful to ride definatly recommend zig and ll the other horses 5 stars for sure.”

“​200 Degrees Coffee in Birmingham is a true standout, offering an exceptional coffee experience that goes far beyond your average chain cafe. From the moment you walk in, the aroma of freshly roasted beans is incredible, a perfect hint of the quality to come. The space itself is cozy and inviting, with a rustic, stylish feel that makes it a perfect spot to relax or get some work done. ​The coffee is, without a doubt, the star of the show. Their baristas are incredibly skilled, serving up perfectly brewed espresso drinks and pour-overs with a clear passion for their craft. I've never had a bad coffee here; every cup is consistently excellent. They also have a fantastic selection of food, including delicious sandwiches and cakes that pair beautifully with their drinks. ​What really makes 200 Degrees special is the staff. They are always friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely happy to help you find the perfect drink. It's clear they take pride in what they do, and that makes the whole experience so much more enjoyable. It's my go-to spot in the city for a quality coffee and a great atmosphere.”

“Went in today for some timber and met Brandon. He was so helpful and great customer service. The price was very good”

“It's really good for all age groups. Especially in holidays, good outing with kids☺️”

“A lovely welcoming nursery. My daughter literally loves her key worker, Sat. It’s nice to see your child build a bond with someone who truly cares about her progression and well-being. My daughter has been here for 2 years, she’s settled in well and has made lots of friends. Highly recommend!”

“I have 2 children a girl and a boy that attend spotlight stage school. They both absolutely love it there and have come on so much in confidence since joining. They have both been given fabulous opportunities such as taking part in the annual school show and competing in competitions. They are awarded for their hard work by taking and passing termly exams where their teachers and Miss Vicky put in so much time to perfect them. Brilliant school, Highly recommend.”

“My daughter attended this nursery last year 2019/20 after attending 2 private nurseries that were both rated outstanding. Allenscroft Nursery had much more of an experienced, older staff team and had received training to a very high standard to deal with children at all learning levels. My daughter had fun every day, she did loads of different activities, from wood work, to messy play of all sorts and they created a safe and calming environment. I always got honest feedback about what she had not eaten during the day compared to stories made up from other nurseries (sometimes this is extremely important when children have such extreme eating issues). Without going into a lot of detail, this nursery gave my daughter the head start in life that she needed and if it wasn’t for them I would be fighting to get extra support in school now. My daughter absolutely loved her teacher Sarah and she was so upset that she had to leave! I want to give special thanks to Ann for the extra support she offered, as well as the information/resources she signed posted me to! This nursery had the most amazing team (including reception team) and every time you walked in you felt completely welcome by all :)”

“Great university, beautiful campus but non-students don't have access to most buildings”

“The Student Hub has been outstanding in providing efficient support, especially with the processing of my Emirates ID. The staff were organized, clear in their communication, and quick to assist at every step. Overall, the Student Hub delivers excellent service and truly supports students’ needs with professionalism and efficiency.”

“I had my first ever lesson today (first time ever on a horse) with Megan today she was fantastic, her and all her staff were great! Can’t wait to book again. Thank you !!”

“Birmingham Gymnastics Academy is amazing! The coaches are skilled and supportive, the facilities are excellent, and my child’s confidence has soared. A fantastic community for kids of all levels—five stars!”

“My son attends here twice a week and I am very pleasantly impressed by how amazing it has been for him, especially developmentally as he talking so much. He enjoys engaging with his peers and the staff are always very friendly and welcoming which helped my little boy settle down so quickly! I would 100% recommend this nursery to any parents who are looking for a fantastic support base for their children. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Rossyln Nursery is amazing. The staff are friendly, supportive, approachable, loving and genuinely care about the wellbeing of the children they care for. The syllabus is well structured and organised and children are able to thrive academically. Learning is made fun and enjoyable. The quality of care is phenomenal and children at Rosslyn are able to flourish in a safe environment. My child has achieved developmental milestones by attending this nursery. He thoroughly enjoys his time there and looks forward to going back. Rosslyn has had a positive impact on his behaviour and development. I would highly recommend it especially to those parents who are apprehensive when choosing an institute. There is always a happy face to greet you everyday and an attentive ear if you wish to discuss anything.”

“All 3 of my children have been to this nursery the youngest is still there and its wonderful. Staff are always friendly and helpful. Environment is welcoming, clean and tidy. The children are stimulated and happy. They have always been helpful and my daughter enjoys her nursery days”

“It's a secondary school for Muslims to advance in Arabic studies it also has English maths and science PE like normal secondary schools”
