Schools in Todmorden

Reviewed by the catchment.school editorial team · Last updated 15 March 2026

Todmorden is a Pennine mill town in Calderdale, West Yorkshire, with 7 primary schools and 1 secondary school administered by Calderdale Metropolitan Borough Council. Calderdale does not operate a selective grammar school system; all secondary places are allocated by distance after siblings. Three of Todmorden's schools are faith schools with Church of England or Roman Catholic admission criteria.

Todmorden sits on the Yorkshire–Lancashire border, and families in the upper Calder Valley should be aware that some Lancashire schools may also be within reasonable distance. Calderdale Council publishes its admissions prospectus each September, with secondary applications due by 31 October and primary applications by 15 January.
