We want all our students irrespective of age, mode of learning, background or level of prior attainment to be able to learn, flourish and succeed and go on to live happy and fulfilled lives.

Sadly, our society at the moment is fractured by violence and hatred with people taking to the streets and destroying their communities. We wholeheartedly condemn the recent violence seen across the UK. 

Halesowen College is a safe place. We are a College of Sanctuary and a place where everyone can be their whole self. We do not tolerate hate or any form of discrimination. Should any student, colleague or member of our College community feel anxious, scared or uncertain please remember that we are a safe space for everyone.

We are open between 8.30 and 4.30 all weekdays and our main telephone number is 0121 602 7777. We look forward to seeing you for induction in a few weeks – please call us if you have any concerns at all about returning to or starting your studies at Halesowen College. If you have concerns about your community, please do not hesitate to contact the emergency services.
