Compare schools

Compare your shortlisted schools in one table. Figures are from published DfE and Ofsted data. This is not admissions or catchment advice.

What to compare

  • Close to home

    Check distance from your postcode. Add your home postcode on the area page before you shortlist schools.

    • Distance
  • Strong results

    Look at attainment: KS2 expected standard for primary, Progress 8 for secondary where published.

    • Attainment
  • Good attendance

    Higher attendance % is better. Lower persistent absence % usually means fewer pupils missing lots of school.
