Alderbrook Leading Edge School & Arts College is a co-educational comprehensive school in Solihull, West Midlands. It shares grounds with the neighbouring schools of Tudor Grange School and St. Peter's RC School.
In 2004, David Miliband toured Alderbrook to promote the General National Vocational Qualifications (GNVQ).[1]
The school turned into an academy in August 2011, under new legislation introduced by the government earlier that year. The school uses cashless dinner systems, and five colleges - Hockney, Shakespeare, Tait, Moore and Elgar - are used to classify the school into groups. These names are taken from previous or current artists, musicians, writers and actors to symbolise the school's arts specialism.
