Reflecting the school's motto Studies Determine Character, North Bromsgrove has an established range of extra-curricular activities including the Duke of Edinburgh Award and has had many successes across Worcestershire in Young Enterprise and debating competitions; it also has a strong record of performing arts and sporting excellence. The school supports the local community through fundraising for charities such as New Starts and Primrose Hospice. It produced a film for the local community over Christmas 2020 celebrating local heroes. It is represented on social media and has its own YouTube account.
The new school was opened officially by an ex-pupil, the actor Mark Williams. He established an award in the name of former teacher Alan Holden and this is presented annually to the student who has shown the most dedication and commitment to the performing arts.
The school's main feeder schools are Parkside Middle School and Catshill Middle School. Students also come from Alvechurch Middle School, Aston Fields Middle School and St John's Middle School as well as other middle schools in the surrounding areas of Redditch and Droitwich.
