Parents in the West Midlands are eager to learn about the top primary schools for their kids as application deadlines have passed
Wolverhampton: Parents in the West Midlands are on edge. They’re waiting to see if their kids got into their top-choice primary schools. The application deadline for September 2025 was January 15.
We’ve dug into Ofsted data to find the best primary schools in the area. These schools have received an ‘outstanding’ rating from inspectors. Parents are hoping to secure spots for their little ones in these top-rated schools.
These schools earned their outstanding ratings before the government changed the grading system last year. The top schools really impressed the inspectors.
Last year’s changes mean Ofsted now evaluates schools in five areas instead of giving a single overall grade. This gives parents a clearer view of how schools are performing.
In the Black Country, there are around 30 primary schools with the top rating. Schools in Wolverhampton, Walsall, Sandwell, and Dudley are among the best. We also have info on the best schools in Birmingham.
Here’s a quick look at some of the outstanding primary schools in Wolverhampton: Woden Primary, Bushbury Lane Academy, and East Park Academy, to name a few.
In Walsall, you’ll find St Mary’s the Mount Catholic Primary and Whitehall Nursery and Infants. Sandwell has Kings Hill Primary and Hargate Primary, while Dudley boasts St Joseph’s Catholic Primary and Cradley CoE Primary.
