Neighbourhood & area context

Common questions in this area

  • Close to published capacity near here?

  • How far is the school run?

    Add your home postcode at the top of the page to see distances from your door. Until then, distances use TR13 centre. All figures are straight-line miles, not walking or driving time, and not catchment areas.

  • What changed recently?

    School and area figures come from open government releases (mostly 2024/25 where published). 12 schools here have a last inspection date on their cards; 6 show a plain-English note when Ofsted published area judgements without an overall grade.

Guide to school and area statistics

What the numbers on this page for TR13 mean. Area rows may still show (i) for data source and geography.

School listings

What you see on each school card

Only fields that appear on at least one school on this page are listed.

School type
How the school is run. 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. For example 4–11 for primary, or 11–18 with sixth form.
Ofsted
Latest published Ofsted outcome and date where we have them, plus a link to the Ofsted reports site. State-funded schools inspected before September 2024 have one overall grade, such as Good. Later inspections grade separate areas instead, and report cards from November 2025 use a scale from exceptional to urgent improvement. These schools show ‘No overall grade’, with a short summary where we have one. Fee-paying association independent schools are usually inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI) instead: we link to ISI reports and do not invent an Ofsted-style grade. Non-association independents inspected by Ofsted show the same Ofsted grades and report link when published in Ofsted’s open management information.
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 and cycling times
With your full home postcode set, cards show a rough time such as “About 25 min walk, 8 min cycle (estimate)” for 1 mile. We add 30% to the straight-line distance for real streets, then use the Department for Transport’s default speeds of 5 km/h walking and 15 km/h cycling. We show a walking time up to 3 miles in a straight line and a cycling time up to 10 miles, and the miles only beyond that. This is an estimate, not a checked or safe route, and younger children often walk more slowly. Use the route link on the card to see the real journey. Beyond about 1 mile, cards also suggest park-and-stride: parking away from the gate and walking the last bit. Without a home postcode, cards show rough hints instead of times: about 1 mile or less may suit walking, and about 1 to 2.5 miles cycling.
Pupils
Number of pupils on roll from published school census data.
Free school meals
Pupils eligible for free school meals. Often used as one indicator of economic disadvantage in the catchment. Useful context, not a comment on pupils or families.
SEN
Share of pupils with SEN support or an EHC plan. A higher figure can reflect inclusive admissions and experience, or more demand on staff. Check what is on site and talk to the SENCO.
English as an additional language (EAL)
Pupils whose first language is not English. Many schools support this well; if English at home matters to you, ask how beginners are taught in class. Not a measure of overall quality.
Attendance
Share of possible sessions attended. Higher is better.
Persistent absence
Share of pupils missing 10% or more of sessions. Lower is better.
Roll vs capacity
Roll versus published GIAS capacity. Close to, around, or below published capacity. Not applications versus offers, and not a guarantee of a place.
Attainment
Primary: share meeting the expected standard in reading, writing and maths (Key Stage 2). Secondary: Attainment 8, the average GCSE-level score across eight subjects (Key Stage 4), or Progress 8 where that is the latest DfE figure for the school. 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. Above, below or about average for the district.

Your home neighbourhood
When you enter your full home postcode, we compare deprivation for your small area with the typical area around schools in this district.
Population, households, ethnicity and age
Census figures for the local council area, not your street or this postcode district alone.
Crime figures
Crimes recorded by police over the latest 12 months on data.police.uk, per 1,000 residents, in the small neighbourhoods where schools in this postcode district are located. Anti-social behaviour is not included. Police map each crime to a nearby point, so your street may differ. In town and city centres few people live but many visit, so the rate per resident can look very high. We leave the figure out where a police force has not published every month.
