A Warm Welcome to Harper Bell Seventh-day Adventist School

We are delighted that you have chosen to join our school community, where the values of love, learning, and laughter guide us every day.

Harper Bell Seventh-Day Adventist School, located in the heart of Birmingham, was founded by church members of the West Midlands who sought a nurturing Christian environment for their children's education. As a voluntary-aided faith school, we proudly embrace families from diverse backgrounds, creating a unique and vibrant community that thrives on mutual respect and shared values.

Though smaller than the average primary school, we take immense pride in the richness and distinctiveness of our school and our curriculum. Our classrooms are places of joy and discovery, where each child is encouraged to aspire and achieve their God-given potential. Our educational approach is designed to provide children with the essential skills and keys needed to unlock opportunities and pursue success, all while fostering a lifelong love of learning.

At Harper Bell, we are more than just a school; we are a family. We care, understand, and value every member of our community, working together in a spirit of kindness and unity. As a faith-based school, we promote the values of the Seventh-day Adventist faith, encouraging all children to grow in understanding through God's grace and goodness.
