Choosing a School in London
Each of the 32 London boroughs, and the City of London, coordinates school admissions for the families living in it, and you apply through your own borough even for a school in another one. Our data has 1,778 state primary schools across London. There are no grammar schools in central London; London's 19 grammar schools are all in outer boroughs: Sutton (5), Bexley (4), Barnet (3), Bromley (2), Kingston upon Thames (2), Redbridge (2) and Enfield (1). The map opens on central London (Westminster, Camden, Lambeth, Southwark, Islington and Kensington and Chelsea); search your own postcode to see the schools near you.

How Are Averages Calculated?
When you open a school, its results show a comparison such as "+12% vs avg". The average is the mean of the figures for every English state school in our data that reports that measure, each school counted once. For primary schools (14,923 with KS2 results), the average share of pupils meeting the expected standard in reading, writing and maths is 63%, with average scaled scores of 105.6 in reading and 104.6 in maths. For secondary schools (3,274 with GCSE results), the average share of pupils getting grade 5 or above in English and maths is 46%, grade 4 or above 65%, and the average Attainment 8 score is 46.6. Because each school counts once whatever its size, these are school averages, not the share of all pupils in England.
Frequently Asked Questions
How can I find schools near my address in London?
Enter your postcode in the search box above. The map will show state primary and secondary schools (not special or independent schools) within your chosen radius, with their latest Ofsted inspection and distance from your location.
What Ofsted ratings do London schools have?
Click any school on the map to see its latest Ofsted inspection in our data and its exam results, with a link to its Ofsted reports. Older inspections show an overall grade from Outstanding to Inadequate; inspections from September 2024 show grades for each area instead. Our Ofsted data covers inspections up to September 2025, so a school inspected since then still shows its earlier result, and the report cards Ofsted has published since November 2025 are not included yet. The link to its Ofsted reports always has the latest.
