About schools in Worcestershire

Most of the 277 schools listed in Worcestershire are primary schools. Its 30 secondary schools are where families compare options once a child finishes primary. Worcestershire keeps a three-tier system, so 16 middle schools sit between the primary and secondary stages.

Every school on this page is inspected by Ofsted. Its newer reports judge a school across several areas rather than giving one overall grade, while older reports still carry the previous single grade, so read the framework and the date on each page before you set two schools side by side. Where results have been published you will also find key stage 2 scores for the primary schools and Attainment 8 for the secondary schools. An inspection or a results table captures a school at one past moment, so use this page to draw up a shortlist and then visit.

Who inspects schools in Worcestershire?
Every school in Worcestershire is inspected by Ofsted. Newer reports grade several areas of a school separately on a report card, while older reports carry a single overall grade, so check the framework and the date on each page before you compare two schools.

How many towns are in the Worcestershire local authority?
OfferDay groups the Worcestershire schools across 32 towns, listed in the schools-by-town section on this page. Any school with no town recorded in the national register is listed separately, grouped by phase, so every school in the local authority is reachable.
