Queen Mary's Grammar School is leading State Secondary school in Walsall. This is a Selective school for kids age 11 to 18 years. Gender - Boys
Queen Mary’s Grammar School was founded in 1554 by Mary Tudor. We have been shaped by our past and are proud of our traditions, but we are also confident of an exciting future as we help to shape the new educational landscape with our partners in the Mercian Trust. Queen Mary’s is an academically selective school, but wellbeing and pastoral care is at the heart of what we do. The School has gained national attention for our focus on mental health (through the ‘Change Your Mind’ Programme) and the School community is a huge strength, summed up in our motto: ‘Quas dederis solas semper habebis opes’; It is what you give that you will keep as eternal riches.
