Welcome to The Earls
The parents of Halesowen have been sending their children to The Earls High School for well over three hundred and seventy years.
We started as a small grammar school, and the proud traditions of high standards in behaviour and high expectations of academic progress have stayed with us in the school’s present form as a thriving, innovative comprehensive school.
At The Earls, we believe that people really do matter the most; our school is made a very special place by the students and staff who come here together to learn.
I hope that you will visit the school so that you can see for yourself our wonderful, motivated young people and the high-quality work they produce.
