Schools in Tamworth
Tamworth has 51 schools - 41 primary and 6 secondary - with Staffordshire County Council co-ordinating admissions for community schools. Tamworth sits on the Staffordshire and Warwickshire border, so a small number of schools in outlying areas fall under Warwickshire's separate admissions remit.
All Staffordshire community schools operate a published-admission-number system with catchment area and distance applied as successive tiebreakers. Parents living close to the county boundary are advised to check which council's scheme covers their preferred school before the January application deadline.
School demand in Tamworth

8 schools in Tamworth have a religious character, so faith criteria sit alongside catchment distance in their admissions policies.
36 of the schools in Tamworth are academies that set their own admissions criteria independently of Staffordshire, so check each school's policy directly rather than assuming the council default applies.
18 of the schools in Tamworth have a current Ofsted rating, of which 15 are rated Good or Outstanding. Demand and catchment distance tend to be tightest at the highest-rated schools.
