Schools in NG5 postcode district

Schools in postcode district NG5. Add your full home postcode below for distance filtering and a your neighbourhood comparison with the wider NG5 area.

Covers: Arnold, Basford, Berridge, Bestwood, Bestwood Park, Bulwell Forest, Calverton, Carrington, Claremont, Coppice, and 10 more areas

Add your home postcode in the green box below. Until then, distances use the centre of NG5. The list starts at 3 miles β€” you can change that. Not an official school catchment.

Neighbourhood & area context

Three levels help you compare places: your neighbourhood (your full postcode), postcode district NG5 (schools and local averages on this page), and Gedling (wider council census and crime β€” background only, not your street). We only show rows we actually hold.

Add your full home postcode in the green box above to see how your street compares with postcode district NG5 and Gedling.

How far from the NG5 centre?

Pick a radius to control which schools appear in the list below. Only schools whose postcode is in NG5 are included β€” we measure the straight-line distance from NG5 centre. Add your home postcode above to search by distance from your address across nearby districts.

Show schools within:

3 miles is selected by default. Add your home postcode at the top to measure from your address instead of the district centre. Try 1 mile or 1.5 miles for a shorter list, 3 miles for a wider search, or All in district for every NG5 school regardless of distance. Straight-line distance only β€” not walking, driving, or an official catchment area.

Sorted by distance from NG5 centre, nearest first. Use the buttons above to change how far out we look, or show the whole of NG5. Each card shows straight-line miles, Ofsted rating and key statistics.

Guide to school and area statistics

A short key for the statistics shown on this page for NG5. We have not listed house prices, broadband, green space or similar extras here unless they appear in the neighbourhood and area context section.

School listings

What you see on each school card

Only fields that appear on at least one school on this page are listed. Hover a stat row when you see a question mark for a one-line reminder.

School type
How the school is run β€” for example academy, council-maintained, voluntary aided or free school.
Trust
The multi-academy trust or sponsor running the school, where it is an academy.
Age range
Year groups on roll β€” for example 4–11 for primary, or 11–18 with sixth form.
Ofsted
Latest published inspection grade, inspection date where we have it, and a link to the school’s page on the Ofsted reports site.
Straight-line miles
Distance as the crow flies from your home postcode when you have entered one, otherwise from the middle of this district. Not walking or driving time.
Walking, cycling and park-and-stride hints
Rough bands from straight-line miles: about 1 mile or less may suit walking; about 1–2.5 miles we show cycling and park-and-stride; over about 2.5 miles park-and-stride only. Not checked routes or journey times.
Pupils
Number of pupils on roll from published school census data.
Free school meals
Share of pupils eligible for free school meals.
SEN
Share of pupils with SEN support or an Education, Health and Care plan.
English as an additional language (EAL)
Share of pupils whose first language is not English, where recorded.
Attendance
Share of possible sessions attended. Higher is better.
Persistent absence
Share of pupils missing 10% or more of sessions. Lower is better.
Admissions pressure
Indicative label from recent applications versus places β€” oversubscribed, about average or often has spaces.
Attainment
Primary: share meeting the expected standard in reading, writing and maths (Key Stage 2). Secondary: Progress 8. A dash means nothing was published for that school.
Attainment vs local
Compares each school’s headline to others of the same phase on this page β€” above, below or about average for the district.
Area overview

What you see in the area overview

Matches the two blocks above β€” postcode district first, then the wider council area.

Area rating (stars)
A simple 1–5 guide from deprivation around schools here β€” not Ofsted grades. Recorded crime can nudge the score when we have it; estimates do not.
Schools in district
How many schools are in this postcode district, split by primary and secondary.
Average attendance
Mean attendance across schools here with published absence data.
Average free school meals
Mean free school meals eligibility across schools here with published data.
