Source: Department for Education · Get Information About Schools · Ofsted. Distances are straight-line. Schools teaching both age ranges appear in both lists and in amber on the map. Since November 2025 Ofsted gives report cards with grades for each area instead of one overall grade; from September 2024 there was no overall grade. Independent schools inspected by ISI aren't covered. Living close to a school does not guarantee a place; check admissions with the council.
