About the school

Tettenhall College

Tettenhall College is a co-educational independent boarding school set in 30 acres of parkland in the leafy Wolverhampton suburb of Tettenhall. Founded in 1863 and home to roughly 410 pupils, it pairs a traditional all-through British education with a flagship International Football Academy delivered in partnership with Premier League club Wolverhampton Wanderers. The school offers a genuinely small, well-resourced setting where international student-athletes can train at professional facilities while sitting GCSEs and A-levels.
