Queen Mary's High School, situated on Upper Forster Street, just outside Walsall town centre, is an all-female grammar school, with entry in Year 7 decided by the 11+ and entry into the Sixth Form decided by GCSE results.[1] It is twinned with Queen Mary's Grammar School, and like the Grammar School is part of the Queen Mary's Foundation.[2]
The main body of the school is a girls’ school, but the Sixth Form is coeducational.[3]
The school gained an outstanding level in the Ofsted report when it was last inspected in 2021.[4]
The school was a Language College[5] and historically required students to study two languages to GCSE standard.
Class sizes in the lower school are currently around 30 girls. Sixth-form classes have a minimum of about 8 students and a maximum of 25.
The school is divided into houses named after famous 19th-century female authors – Austen (after Jane Austen), Bronte (after Emily Brontë), Eliot (after George Eliot) and Shelley (after Mary Shelley), the latter being a new house in the 2012/13 academic year. Each house has a member of staff in charge of it, a captain from Year 13 (upper sixth form) and a vice-captain from Year 12 (lower sixth form).
Alumni of the school include Meera Syal.
