Why it matters
A postcode you assume is "good for schools" often hides a real range: a strongly rated school a few roads from one in trouble, and a place at either could come down to a single form. Parents rarely get to see the whole local picture at once, because the ratings sit one school at a time across two government sites.
The only fair way to spot the good ones is to see every school near you rated side by side, with the date of each inspection in plain view, so an old grade is not mistaken for today's verdict. That is the whole of what this report does.
Every rating shown with its date, so you weigh the word against how old it is.
What you get
The data is scattered across the schools register and Ofsted's own files, one school at a time. This pulls it together for your postcode so how well every nearby school is rated is clear on a single page.
No. 01
The best-rated state schools near you are called out, so you can see at a glance which are worth an application.
No. 02
Any school under a formal concern, or rated below the bar at its last inspection, is flagged so you can steer clear or look twice.
No. 03
All the state schools nearby, ranked by distance, with type, age range and size, so nothing is missed.
No. 04
Each Ofsted rating is shown with the year it was given, plus the latest shorter check, so you judge on what is true now.
No. 05
Whether a school is faith-based, single-sex or has a sixth form, so a good rating also means a school that suits.
No. 06
No trawling Ofsted and council sites school by school. Your whole local picture, in one PDF, in seconds.
Honest about the ratings
We would rather you trust this because it is straight with you. An Ofsted grade is a judgement made on a particular set of days, sometimes years ago, and since September 2024 Ofsted no longer gives state schools a single overall grade at all. So we always show the date, and the latest shorter check where there is one, and we say plainly that a rating is a floor to build on, not the whole story. Read the full report, visit on a normal morning, and remember that getting a place depends on catchment and admission rules, not just how close a school is.
