SILVER BIRCH SCHOOL

Birmingham, West Midlands · B34 7RD

With just 20 pupils, Silver Birch School is among the smallest independent schools a family is likely to consider in Birmingham. Such an intimate setting means pupils are known as individuals rather than faces in a crowd, with teaching that can be closely tailored to each child. The school is co-educational, takes pupils from age 11 and has no religious affiliation. It is led by headteacher Mr Noel Thomas and inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate.
