About Eden Boys' School, Birmingham

We were graded as ‘Outstanding’ in all areas by Ofsted during our first inspection in May 2018. At our last inspection in December 2024, the school was commended for upholding the same high standards of academic excellence, teaching, character development and behaviour that resulted in the school’s previous ‘Outstanding’ rating.

We have an exemplary reputation for excellence in every aspect of school life. We provide a knowledge-based academic curriculum alongside a rich and diverse leadership programme that grows character and inspires charitable and social action. Our pursuit of educational excellence is based upon our fundamental belief that every pupil has the capacity to become a successful and inspirational leader.

• The ability to explain concepts clearly and confidently.
• The ability to manage behaviour in the classroom.
• Knowledge of the latest specification and tests in the subject.
