Research schools before choosing a home

Build a school shortlist around a postcode and compare the published evidence available for each establishment. Location, age range and admissions arrangements answer different questions.

How the tool works

  1. Enter a postcode or resolve a place to a postcode.
  2. Use the available phase and establishment filters to narrow the results.
  3. Check source dates and follow the school and authority information before making an admissions decision.

When to use it

Use the finder when researching a family move, comparing areas or planning school visits. Read individual inspection reports and admissions arrangements alongside any published performance measures.

UK coverage and assumptions

This tool uses England’s Get Information About Schools snapshot and the connected inspection and performance sources. Distances are for discovery and are not catchment boundaries or the authority’s admissions measurement. The tool does not provide a UK-wide school rating.

Frequently asked questions

Does living near a school guarantee a place?

No. Admission arrangements, application year, available places and priority criteria determine offers. Confirm the policy and address requirements with the admission authority.

Are the distances walking distances?

The discovery distances are straight-line distances. Check actual journeys separately and use the admission authority’s specified method for any distance criterion.

Why is an inspection or performance measure missing?

A source may not publish a comparable measure for the school, phase or period. Missing information is not a negative judgement. Open the original publication to understand its coverage.

Can I compare schools across all four UK nations?

This finder’s establishment coverage is England. The other UK nations have their own education systems and sources; inspection labels and performance measures should not be treated as directly interchangeable.
