Schools in Alcester
One of the oldest settled market towns in Warwickshire, Alcester draws its character from a Roman past visible in its street plan and historic core, set at the meeting of the River Alne and River Arrow. Around 6,000 people live in the parish.
Alcester is the school-competitive hub of this rural corner of Warwickshire, with Kinwarton to the north a sought-after pocket for primary catchments. Bidford-on-Avon and Temple Grafton lie in the surrounding rural belt, and rail links from Redditch, seven miles north, reach Birmingham in around twenty minutes.
