- Start with the district closest to your home (busy districts here include DY8 (18 schools), DY5 (14 schools), B63 (13 schools)). Add your full postcode on the district page for straight-line distances and map pins. Shortlist schools you like, then open Compare for side-by-side figures and a CSV download. Visit schools and confirm admissions rules with Dudley before you apply.
- Where does the data for Dudley schools come from?
- School names, addresses, and governance come from the government school register. Ofsted publishes inspection outcomes. The Department for Education publishes attendance, attainment, pupil characteristics, and SEN figures. Local context rows (crime, census, house prices) are labelled by geography on each district page. See our methodology page for more detail and how to report a likely error with a school URN.
