Schools in Wolverhampton: FAQ
How many schools are there in Wolverhampton?
There are 146 registered schools in Wolverhampton on the latest Ofsted/GIAS data — 117 primary, 26 secondary, and the remainder all-through, special, or 16+ providers. Of these, 49% are rated Good or Outstanding.
What is the best-rated school in Wolverhampton?
13 schools are rated Outstanding by Ofsted in Wolverhampton, and 58 more are rated Good. Outstanding schools are often oversubscribed, so proximity (your postcode's distance to the school) usually determines whether you can get a place.
How do I check school catchment for a Wolverhampton postcode?
Catchment depends on the exact address. Enter any Wolverhampton postcode into PostcodeCheck and the area report lists every school near that postcode, its Ofsted rating, type, and distance — the data admissions teams use to decide places.
Does living near a good school in Wolverhampton affect house prices?
Yes. Homes inside the effective catchment of an Outstanding or Good school typically command a 5-15% premium. The effect is strongest for primary schools, where catchment areas are smaller and admissions are tightly distance-based.
