Why it matters

On one street, the best school and the weakest can be worlds apart.

A postcode you assume is "good for schools" often hides a real range: an Outstanding school a few roads from one in trouble, and a place at either could come down to a single form. The only way to spot the good ones is to see every school near you rated side by side.

What you get

The good schools near you, and the ones to avoid.

The data is scattered across the schools register and Ofsted's own files, one school at a time. This pulls it together for your postcode so the quality of every nearby school is clear on a single page.

The good schools, surfaced

Every Outstanding and Good school near you, so you can see at a glance which are worth an application.

The weak ones, flagged

Any school rated Requires improvement or Inadequate, or under a formal concern, is flagged so you can steer clear or look twice.

Every school, side by side

All the state schools nearby, ranked by distance, with type, age range and size, so nothing is missed.

Current evidence, not stale

Each Ofsted rating is shown with the year it was given, plus the latest shorter check, so you judge on what's true now.

The right fit for your family

Whether a school is faith-based, single-sex or has a sixth form, so a good rating also means a school that suits.

One page, no digging

No trawling Ofsted and council sites school by school. Your whole local picture, in one PDF, in seconds.

Honest about the ratings

A rating is a snapshot, not a promise.

We'd rather you trust this because it's straight with you. An Ofsted grade is a judgement made on a particular set of days, sometimes years ago, and since September 2024 many schools have no single grade at all. So we always show the date, and the latest shorter check where there is one, and we say plainly that a grade is a floor to build on, not the whole story. Read the full report, visit on a normal morning, and remember that getting a place depends on catchment and admission rules, not just how close a school is.
