The Arthur Terry School is a secondary school and Sixth form centre in the Four Oaks area of Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham, England. Its current headmaster is Mr. C. Stone.

The school was built in the 1960s and was named after Arthur Terry, who was the Mayor of Sutton Coldfield from 1934 to 1935.

The school is currently undergoing a £15 million rebuilding, that will see most of the current school demolished to make way for the new building; only the Sports Hall, Drama Studio and sixth form centre will remain. The rebuilding started in March 2006 and it will be finished in October half term 2008.

As a Performing Arts Collage, the school is also well known for its shows each year, including "Grease", "Les Misérables" and "Godspell". The school's most recent production was of "West Side Story", the final to be led by head of performing arts Mr. T. Hadley who is leaving to pursue a career in the training of athletes after over 30 years at the school.

The school implemented a [http://www.verticaltutoring.org vertical tutoring] system at the start of the 2007/8 school year. Every tutor group now has a mix of 2-3 students from each year group.

The school also has its own student-run radio station, named [http://www.atrfm.com ATRfm] which broadcasts internally, on the internet and also runs a two week FM broadcast to the local area on the frequency 106.9 from its studio on the site.
