The Arthur Terry School is a secondary school and Sixth form centre in the Four Oaks area of Sutton Coldfield, England. Its current headmaster is Mr. C. Stone.
The school was built in the 1960s and was named after Arthur Terry, who was the Mayor of Sutton Coldfield from 1934 to 1935.
The school has currently undergone a £15 million rebuilding program, designed by architects Watkins Gray International (www.wgi.co.uk), that has seen most of the original school demolished to make way for the new buildings; only the Sports Hall, Drama Studio and Sixth Form Centre has remained.
As a Performing Arts College, the school is also well known for its shows each year, including Grease, Les Misérables and Godspell. The school's most recent production was of West Side Story, the final to be led by head of performing arts Mr. T. Hadley who is leaving to pursue a career in the training of athletes after over 30 years at the school.
The school implemented a vertical tutoring system at the start of the 2007/8 school year. Every tutor group now has a mix of 2-3 students from each Year Group.
The school also has its own student-run radio station, named ATRfm which broadcasts internally, on the internet and also runs a two week FM broadcast to the local area on the frequency 106.9 from its studio on the site.
It is served by two local school bus services, the 757 to Perry Common, New Oscott and Streetly, operated by National Express West Midlands. Also the 836, to Mere Green, Walmley and Minworth, which is operated by Central Connect.
