Solihull School won the Independent Senior School of the Year category at the Tes School Awards 2024.

The prestigious awards, now in the 16th year and dubbed the ‘Oscars of education’, saw shortlisted teachers and schools from across the country come together for a glittering gala.

Judged by a panel of experts from long-serving head teachers to heads of educational organisations, the judges selected winners for 23 categories.

The night also featured a short segment of the Lion King performed by the Disney Theatrical Group.

Charles Fillingham, Solihull School’s executive headmaster said: “This is a great honour and reflects what a great team we have here at Solihull School. My thanks to the judges for recognising the efforts of the school.”

Judge of the awards and head of governance at RSAcademics, Durell Barnes said: “Solihull School made the point that the merger was a terrific opportunity to blend and enrich the school. They now also rejoice in their declining need for counselling amid booming staff recruitment and retention and have found themselves a part of a really happy and vibrant school.”
