Four Dwellings High School is a secondary school in the Quinton area of Birmingham, England. It opened in 1940 on Quinton Road West[1]. This part of the school is now used by other council departments including the Quinton Neighbourhood Office. The old Upper School building opened in 1954 on Dwellings Lane, oringinally as the Four Dwellings Girls School, with the boys school being situated in the older buildings. The school went co-educational in 1970[2]. The site is split between four key areas; Four Dwellings High School, Four Dwellings Junior School, Quinzone and the Forum. The school holds specialist Science College status.
The high school, which is now situated solely on the old girls school building, has approximately 720 pupils and a new 16+ course catering for pupils to continue to work at GCSEs after finishing at secondary school. It is currently one of a handful of school who are designing and experimenting with a new curriculum for QCA around core skills, which to date has been very successful.
The current headteacher is Mr. B. Smith.
