Schools in Cradley Heath
Cradley Heath is a town in the Metropolitan Borough of Sandwell in the Black Country. The 6 schools in this area are coordinated by Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council, which uses a nearest-school tiebreaker for oversubscribed community schools after siblings and looked-after children.
The area borders Dudley and Halesowen, and some families may be eligible to apply to schools in neighbouring Dudley Metropolitan Borough depending on their exact address. Always check which authority coordinates your nearest school, as cross-boundary applications are common in this densely populated part of the West Midlands.
Secondary school places in Sandwell are allocated through the Pan-Birmingham co-ordinated scheme for some cross-boundary applications. Families should check Sandwell Council's admissions pages for the 2026 round timetable and individual school catchment maps.
