Editing Kidderminster (section)

==Education==
As part of educational restructuring in the [[Wyre Forest (district)|Wyre Forest district]], Kidderminster's schools were reorganised from a [[three-tier education|three-tier system]] of first, middle and high schools to the two-tier system more common in the UK as a whole, featuring [[primary school]]s and [[secondary school]]s. In this process, several first and middle schools were closed or merged into new primaries. The three high schools of [[King Charles I School]], [[Wolverley C E Secondary School]], and [[Baxter College]] (formerly Harry Cheshire High School) became secondary schools that included [[sixth form]]s.

Independent schools include [[Heathfield Knoll School]] in [[Wolverley]]. Formerly independent, [[Holy Trinity School (Kidderminster)|Holy Trinity School]] became a state-funded free school in 2014. [[Kidderminster College]] is located in Market Street in the town centre, having moved from older premises in Hoo Road in 2003. Other local secondary schools include [[The Stourport High School & VIth Form Centre]] and [[The Bewdley School]].
