Moseley School

Moseley School is a large comprehensive school in the Moseley area of Birmingham, England. The school's main entrance is situated on Wake Green Road and it lies in the parish of St Christopher, Springfield. The school is non-denominational with around 1, 360 students, two-thirds of whom are boys. 80% do not have English as a first language, and over 40% are eligible for free school meals. The March 2016 Ofsted report graded the school as good with good features, at which students make good progress. The school comprises three main buildings on a single campus – a Victorian college built in the 1850s, and a state-of-the-art modern building completed in 2012, and a newly built sports complex. School historyThe history of what is now Moseley School is complicated. In 1838 a private house in Spring Hill, Hockley, Birmingham, was opened as a training college for Congregationalist ministers under the patronage of George Storer Mansfield (1764–1837) and his two sisters Sarah (1767–1853) and Elizabeth (1772–1847). Twenty years later, in 1857, after expansion to include a further three private houses, the establishment, still named Spring Hill College, moved to new, much larger, purpose-built premises on Wake Green Road, in what was then rural Worcestershire, some miles south of the city. This striking Gothic revival building was designed by the architect Joseph James, and is particularly noted for its gargoyles.
