Welcome to St Alphege Church of England Schools, a federation that unites our Infant and Nursery School with our Junior School in the heart of Solihull. Our Federation comprises of St Alphege C of E Infant and Nursery School and St Alphege C of E Junior School. Our Christian school vision is central to all we do. At the heart of our schools is love.
A love that is seen, felt and shown in how we value and serve one another. Our vision is simple yet profound. Rooted in the Christian faith, we cherish every child as a unique gift from God. Our staff place children at the centre of every decision and gladly go the extra mile so that each pupil feels seen, valued and loved.
We are called to ensure that every member of our community enjoys life in all its fullness.
