About Heath Park

Heath Park sits at the very top of the secondary school rankings in Wolverhampton, placing first out of 21 schools in the local authority on Progress 8. That puts it ahead of well-known local peers including The Khalsa Academy Wolverhampton, Wolverhampton Girls' High School, and The Royal School, Wolverhampton. Nationally, it ranks in the top 7 per cent of all secondary schools, and in the West Midlands region it sits 16th out of 371. The school is a mixed, non-denominational state secondary with a sixth form, led by headteacher Georgetta Holloway. Its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024 judged the school Good overall, but awarded Outstanding ratings for behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and sixth-form provision. That’s a notable shift from its previous inspection in 2014, when it was rated Outstanding across the board. The school is heavily oversubscribed: for 2025/26 entry, it received 646 applications for 198 places, with 253 first-preference applications resulting in 176 offers.
