Schools in Kidderminster
North of the River Stour and east of the River Severn, Kidderminster occupies the far northern corner of Worcestershire, where the county runs up against the Staffordshire and Shropshire borders. Its population reached around 57,000 at the 2021 census.
As the administrative centre for Wyre Forest District, the town anchors a catchment geography that extends to Stourport-on-Severn and Bewdley, with Kidderminster station offering direct services to Birmingham New Street in around forty minutes. Wolverley, on the wooded northern fringe, is among the most sought-after pockets for primary catchments, and Sutton Park draws families competing for primary places across the western residential spread. Comberton is widely regarded as one of the town's most school-competitive corners, with Heronswood and Habberley completing the mid-town residential belt.
