Schools in Bromsgrove
Bromsgrove district's 14 primary schools are co-ordinated by Worcestershire County Council, which uses nearest-school distance for community schools. The town has seen significant housing growth to the north and west, and popular primaries near Charford and Furlongs have seen last-offered distances tighten in recent years. Several voluntary-aided Church of England primaries in the area apply faith criteria, so parents should check each school's individual admissions policy when making their preference list.
Secondary provision in Bromsgrove is split across two main schools - Bromsgrove School (independent) and North Bromsgrove High School and South Bromsgrove High School for state-educated pupils. Both state secondaries are academies under Worcestershire's co-ordinated scheme. Worcestershire's secondary deadline is October with National Offer Day on 1 March. Families in the north of the town should note that North Bromsgrove and South Bromsgrove draw from different geographic zones - use catchment.school to check your zone before applying.
