Stourport High School

What Stourport High School does

The Stourport High School and Sixth Form College is a publicly funded secondary academy school located in Stourport-on-Severn, Worcestershire, United Kingdom. Operating under the governance of the Severn Academies Educational Trust (SAET) — a multi-academy trust comprising seven schools — the institution delivers a seven-year educational journey spanning Years 7 through 13, including GCSEs, A-levels, BTECs, and vocational pathways to students aged 11-18. The school is led by Executive Headteacher Mr Mat Carpenter and Headteacher Dr E Ford, and operates with a Published Admissions Number of 254 students per year group, serving the town of Stourport-on-Severn and surrounding villages across Worcestershire and the West Midlands.

The school delivers its curriculum through a digitally-enabled model layered on standard classroom instruction. Core digital systems include Sparx Maths/Reader/Science for Years 7-11 (with automatic parent notifications on homework), Google Classroom for homework and class communication, the Unifrog careers platform across Years 7-13, Arbor for student information and attendance, and ParentPay for cashless payments for meals, trips, clubs, and wraparound care. The school has built distinct sporting excellence academies as branded sub-brands: the ACE Rugby Programme (in partnership with Gloucester Rugby Academy, competing in the national ACE League), the Basketball Academy (in partnership with Stourport Spartans Basketball Club, competing in Tier 3 CBL North Division), and a Netball Academy (AOC West Midlands League 3). It also operates employer-partnership programmes with the Army, NHS, Hereford and Worcester Fire and Rescue, Police, RAF, and Royal Navy for careers exposure.

As a non-profit academy school, Stourport High School is funded through UK government grants channelled via the Severn Academies Educational Trust, with no tuition fees charged for standard secondary education. Income is supplemented by optional payments (school trips, clubs, wraparound care, and uniform) and by third-party facility hire of the school's 4G sports facilities via Delsport UK. Distribution is via the Worcestershire County Council school admissions portal for Year 7 intake, with in-year admissions handled directly. Communication channels include the school website, Instagram, email newsletters, Google Classroom, and on-site open events and tours.
