Check schools near a postcode
Thinking about an area? See the nearest schools, how far each one is, and its latest Ofsted report — then check catchment with the council.
Common questions
- Does this show which schools are in catchment?
- It shows the schools nearest to your postcode, with distances. Catchment (priority admission) areas are set by each council and change year to year, so we link you straight to your council's official admissions process rather than guess a boundary.
- Where do the schools and ratings come from?
- Schools come from the Department for Education's Get Information About Schools register. For each school we link to its live Ofsted report, so you always see the current inspection rather than a rating that may be out of date.
- Why can't I see schools for a Scottish postcode?
- Our schools data covers England only, because it comes from the Department for Education. For Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland, your local council is the place to check schools and admissions.
