CheckPostcode

Schools by postcode

For families, schools can decide where to live. Every postcode page lists the nearest schools with their phase, type and latest Ofsted rating, ordered by distance, so you can see at a glance what is within walking or driving range and how it is rated.

How this works

School details come from the Department for Education's Get Information About Schools register, geolocated and matched to the nearest schools by straight-line distance from the postcode. Ofsted ratings are the most recent published judgement. Distances are as-the-crow-flies, not walking routes, and catchment areas are set by each local authority — always check admissions directly.
