Schools in Stourbridge
Stourbridge, in the Dudley metropolitan borough of the West Midlands, has 32 schools - 21 primaries and seven secondaries, with 17 academies and seven faith-designated settings. As the most affluent part of the Black Country, Stourbridge's schools have seen sustained demand, and some secondaries have historically appeared in regional league tables for GCSE performance.
Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council co-ordinates school admissions using a catchment-and-distance model. Families in the Pedmore, Hagley, and Hagley Road corridors bordering Bromsgrove and Wyre Forest should verify which council's scheme applies to their address. Stourbridge's seven secondaries draw from a mix of prosperous suburban and semi-rural feeder primaries, and 'last distance offered' figures are published by Dudley Council each April.
