History

Wolverley CE Secondary School opened in 2007 following the closure of Wolverley High School and a restructuring in the Worcestershire Local Authority. At the same time it converted to a controlled Church of England School. Wolverley was the birthplace of William Sebright, a former Town Clerk of London. Sebright died in 1620 and his will stated that his estate was to be used for the foundation of a grammar school in Wolverley. The original site of the school was in the centre of the village, but in 1931 the school changed its name to Sebright School and moved to a new site. Between 1948 and 1970, Sebright was a private school, before reopening as Wolverley High School. [4]
