School Atlas lists 93 state primary schools, 22 state secondary schools, 6 special schools, 3 alternative provision schools and 1 post-16 school or college in Sandwell. It also lists 9 independent schools and 97 nurseries and other early-years settings.
Of the state primary, secondary and all-through schools, 21 have a religious character: 11 Church of England, 8 Roman Catholic and 2 Christian.
Of the 115 state primary, secondary and all-through schools in Sandwell, 60 hold an Ofsted overall-effectiveness grade from their last graded inspection: 6 Outstanding, 53 Good and 1 Requires improvement.
Ofsted stopped giving state schools a single overall grade in September 2024. Since November 2025 its report cards grade each area separately; 25 of these schools have had one.
Sandwell 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 55 schools. That distance is not always a cut-off: at a school with places to spare it is simply the furthest applicant.
