Questions

Questions parents ask

How many girls schools are in the West Midlands?
There are 32 girls schools in the West Midlands, including state-funded, academies, and independent schools.
What are the best girls schools in the West Midlands?
The highest-ranked girls schools in the West Midlands on Eduscope are Stratford Girls' Grammar School, Newport Girls' High School Academy and Wolverhampton Girls' High School. We rank each state school against schools of the same phase across England on its Ofsted inspection, results and attendance.
How many Ofsted Outstanding girls schools are in the West Midlands?
the West Midlands has 9 girls schools rated Outstanding by Ofsted. A further 13 are rated Good, meaning 100% of inspected schools hold a Good or Outstanding rating.
How are girls schools in the West Midlands ranked on Eduscope?
Each state school gets a rank score out of 100. We place each measure as a percentile among state schools of the same phase across England, then weight them. Primary schools: latest Ofsted inspection 30%, pupils meeting the expected standard at Key Stage 2 30%, pupils reaching the higher standard 10%, persistent absence (lower is better) 20%, average reading and maths scores 10%. Secondary schools: latest Ofsted inspection 25%, Attainment 8 25%, grade 5 or above in English and maths 15%, persistent absence (lower is better) 15%, pupils staying in education or work after GCSEs 10%, A level average points (sixth forms only) 10%. Results are averaged over up to three years, and an Ofsted grade older than five years counts for less. A school needs data for at least 60% of the weights. Special schools, pupil referral units, nurseries, independent schools and 16 to 19 schools aren't ranked, and are listed by Ofsted grade and name. Our methodology page explains more.
What is the average class size in the West Midlands girls schools?
The average pupil-teacher ratio across girls schools in the West Midlands is 17:1. While this is not a direct measure of class size, it indicates the level of teaching resource available per pupil.
