Light Hall School is a specialist college in Computing and Mathematics located in Shirley, West Midlands, England. It exceeds the national average of marks every year in both GCSEs and KS3[1] As of 2010 the headteacher was Vic Scutt, and the Deputy Headteacher Robert Barr.

Light Hall School was established on Hathaway Road in the 1950s as a Boys Grammar School on land once belonging to Light Hall Farm.

Light Hall School is one of sixteen secondary schools in the UK Metropolitan Borough of Solihull. The school has over 1250 hundred students interested in I.C.T, Sports and Mathematics from the age of eleven to sixteen.

The school suffered from a fire in February 2006[2]; a new building was opened in October 2008 to replace the classrooms destroyed in the fire[3]. The new building has classrooms for Mathematics, Modern Foreign Languages, Geography, Music, Drama and History, and a new dining hall.
