Schools in Burntwood
Burntwood is a market town in Staffordshire with 11 schools covering 8 primaries and 2 secondaries - Erasmus Darwin Academy and Chase Terrace Academy. Staffordshire County Council co-ordinates admissions for community primaries here, applying oversubscription criteria that prioritise siblings, then catchment-area residents, then proximity by straight-line distance.
Both secondary schools are converter academies serving the Lichfield district. Chase Terrace Academy draws from a wide residential area across the town, while Erasmus Darwin Academy admits on proximity after specialist criteria. Families living between the two schools should check each school's published last-distance-offered figure from the previous admission round before submitting preferences in the autumn.
