Solihull Council serves a population of just under 200,000 people, residing in 84,000 households. The Council itself has approximately 8,000 employees of which 4,700 are teaching staff.

In terms of schools, there are 59 primary schools, three primary academies, five special schools, three secondary schools and 11 secondary academies.
