[edit] History
Alcester High School is located on the site of the old Greville High School (named after Fulke Greville, 1st Baron Brooke) which opened in 1966, when Greville closed in 1985 the students were transferred to Alcester High along with those from Bidford High School. In 2004 a £1.8m expansion programme began creating a two-storey English block with 12 new classrooms, and extensions to the art and music blocks.

Alcester High became a specialist technology college in 1998 with an investment of £250,000.

After being awarded 'high performing' status as a Technology College, Alcester High School was invited to apply for a second subject specialism. After a great deal of consultation and planning it was decided to apply for music specialism. This was approved by the Secretary of State for Education [2] and the school became a specialist music college in 2006.
