Walsall, WS1 2PG · Walsall grammar school
Both Walsall grammar schools (Queen Mary's Grammar School and Queen Mary's High School) use the West Midlands Grammar Schools Entrance Test — the shared GL Assessment test also used by the Birmingham and Telford grammars: Two multiple-choice papers of about 50 minutes each (roughly an hour per session with administration), assessing verbal reasoning, non-verbal reasoning, numerical reasoning and English comprehension. Scores are age-standardised and each school sets its own qualifying and priority thresholds from the shared result. One registration (early May to late June of Year 5) and one sitting in mid-September of Year 6 covers every West Midlands consortium school you name.
Of the 199-student 2019/20 leaver cohort, sustaining a higher-education destination the following year. This is the last cohort the Department for Education published with an Oxbridge/Russell Group breakdown — these categories were discontinued as official accountability measures after this release, so a more recent figure does not exist.
Median price for the school's electoral ward, year ending March 2023 — a neighbourhood-level indicator, not the school's actual admissions catchment (catchments are often smaller than a ward or span parts of several).
Data sourced from GIAS, Ofsted and official Walsall admissions publications. Figures can change year to year — always confirm with the school before applying.
