Sutton Coldfield Grammar School for Girls is a state-funded selective grammar school and sixth form college for girls in Sutton Coldfield. It is a specialist science college and a Leadership Partner School , a title it received in September 2004 (science) and 2009 (Leadership), and a Beacon School.

It was opened on September 18, 1929 as Sutton Coldfield High School. Plans for a school had begun in 1906 with sites behind Sutton Coldfield Town Hall, in Sutton Park and Rectory Park all being considered before a 6-acre (24,000 m2) field behind Beeches Walk was selected. The school changed its name to Sutton Coldfield Grammar School for Girls in 1962 following changes made to the Warwickshire policy. It is a partner school to Bishop Vesey's Grammar School which was founded in 1527. The two schools regularly partner in events such as drama and operatic productions, with the 2009 production "Iolanthe," a successful performance.
