A Solihull school has been named among best in UK by Tatler

Two Midland schools have been named among the best in the UK by Tatler Magazine.

Arden Academy in Knowle, Solihull, was named one of the best state secondary schools in the UK.

The Tatler Schools Guide 2018 is an annual guide to the top 20 non fee-paying schools that offer ‘gold star’ quality education.

The Chantry School in Worcestershire was also rated as one of the best in the country by Tatler.

The Tatler Schools Guide 2018 states: “Our team of super-sleuths have inspected these schools inside out and know the heads better than their own mothers.”

In 2015, Ofsted rated Arden Academy as an “outstanding school at the heart of the community where students thrive”.

On the welcome page for the school website, its Principal Martin P Murphy says: “I am inordinately proud of Arden students and staff who, by working together as a successful and cohesive team, exemplify the Arden values of ‘friendship, respect, excellence, equality, courage, determination and inspiration’.
These values are at the very heart of Arden’s ethos and are the code by which we all aspire to live and learn.”

He added: “The levels our students achieve in their chosen fields are quite amazing; we have sportsmen and women who participate at local, county and international level and who possess an astonishing variety of talent in the performing arts arena.”
