About Tudor Grange Academy Worcester

Tudor Grange Academy Worcester is a mixed 11-18 state secondary in Worcester, Worcestershire, currently home to 1,090 pupils against a capacity of 1,250. That leaves some headroom, but demand tells a different story: for 2025/26 entry, the school received 443 applications for 205 places, with 241 of those as first preferences. That works out at 2.16 applications per place, and 200 first-preference offers were made, so oversubscription is real. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 26.8%, which is notably higher than the national average for secondary schools. This suggests the school serves a community with above-average economic disadvantage, and the high application numbers indicate strong local reputation despite that context. The school is non-religious, with no formal faith character, and is led by headteacher David Butler.
