About Landau Forte Academy QEMS
Landau Forte Academy QEMS is an 11-16 secondary school with academy status in Tamworth, Staffordshire. At its most recent inspection there were 736 students enrolled. The school is operated by Landau Forte Charitable Trust and is co-educational and non-denominational. The town of Tamworth is located north-east of Birmingham and has a population of 77,000.
QEMS was originally two schools, Queen Elizabeth’s Grammar School and Mercian Boys School, which were amalgamated in 1979. Those school names refer to Queen Elizabeth I, who granted Tamworth a charter recognising that it was an ancient market town, and to Mercia, an Anglo-Saxon kingdom that constructed a fortress in the area.
