School Atlas lists 78 state primary schools, 19 state secondary schools, 7 special schools, 2 alternative provision schools and 3 post-16 schools and colleges in Dudley. It also lists 9 independent schools and 78 nurseries and other early-years settings.
Of the state primary, secondary and all-through schools, 20 have a religious character: 14 Church of England and 6 Roman Catholic.
Of the 97 state primary, secondary and all-through schools in Dudley, 53 hold an Ofsted overall-effectiveness grade from their last graded inspection: 1 Outstanding, 50 Good and 2 Requires improvement.
Ofsted stopped giving state schools a single overall grade in September 2024. Since November 2025 its report cards grade each area separately; 18 of these schools have had one.
Dudley doesn't publish catchment boundaries, so there’s no boundary map to check. Distance usually decides a place.
We also hold last-distance-offered records for 62 schools. That distance is not always a cut-off: at a school with places to spare it is simply the furthest applicant.
