Schools in Sutton Coldfield
Sutton Coldfield's 42 schools are administered by Birmingham City Council, whose Primary and Secondary Determined Admission Arrangements set out the oversubscription criteria for each school. The town's 31 primaries span the full spectrum from heavily oversubscribed Church of England schools in the town centre to newer community schools in developments along Mere Green Road and New Hall, where distances offered can be considerably longer.
Eight secondary schools serve the area, including Plantsbrook, Bishop Vesey's Grammar (selective - 11-plus required) and Sutton Coldfield Grammar School for Girls (also selective). Families in the SK4-B73-B76 postcode corridor should apply to Birmingham's co-ordinated scheme in October for secondary places and in January for primary - late applications drop to a lower priority tier.
