Know before you move — schools, safety, prices, transport and more, from official UK data.
Every school and college around a postcode — phase, age range, pupil numbers and exact distance, mapped. Official Department for Education data on our own national postcode spine.

Every school and college near a postcode, from the Department for Education’s own register — the same record schools themselves update. Primary schools, secondary schools, independent schools and sixth forms, with phase, age range, capacity and the straight-line distance from the postcode you entered.
Ofsted judgements appear where one has been published. Note that Ofsted stopped issuing single-word overall grades for state schools in September 2024, so newer reports are graded across separate areas instead of summarised in one word.
Every school within reach, its phase and age range, its latest inspection outcome, and how far it actually is.
Get Information about Schools (DfE) for the register, Ofsted for inspection outcomes. England.
Whether your child would get a place. Catchment areas change year to year and are set by the admitting authority, not by distance alone.
Enter your postcode. Every school appears with its phase, so primary schools near you are labelled as such, alongside secondary schools and sixth forms.
Each school here shows its latest Ofsted rating where one exists, and links to the full Ofsted report. Note that Ofsted school ratings changed in September 2024 — single-word grades were dropped for state schools.
Catchment areas are set by each admitting authority and move year to year with demand. A school catchment area checker cannot be reliable for that reason — we show which schools are nearest, then ask the school for last year's cut-off distance, because that is the number that actually decided it.
Yes. The DfE register covers grammar schools near you, independent and private schools near you, and state schools together, each labelled by type.
No. School league tables rank on one measure and hide everything else — a school with hard intake and strong progress can sit below a coasting one. We show each school's own figures so you can weigh them yourself.
Places are decided by more than the school. Distance, safety and what there is to do all count.
Businesses listed by the area they cover. We check what we can before a listing appears — ID, insurance, and the register behind a gas or electrical certificate — and take no commission on anything you arrange.
