Amington and Stonydelph formerly formed one "township" and were part of the ancient parish of Tamworth.

On the eve of the English Civil War there was some opposition to the paying of poor rate levies from the local gentry, in particular Cecil Warburton, the occupant of the Hall.

The justices at the quarter sessions for Easter, 1642 heard that Cecil Warburton of Hall End, Amington, “did lock up the overseer of the poor (George Payne)…and drew his sword upon him there in a very outrageous manner”.

In 2016 work began on the development of over 1100 new homes on the site of the former Tamworth Municipal Golf Course.

The school reached national headlines in 2016 when one of the pupils was recorded being assaulted.
