The best schools in Alton

There are 17 schools in Alton listed on FindGreatSchools: 13 primary, 2 secondary and 2 special. Each listing links to a full profile with Ofsted information, results and demographics where published.

Under our composite score, Saint Lawrence Church of England Primary School is the highest-ranked primary school and Amery Hill School is the highest-ranked secondary school in Alton. The score blends Ofsted inspection, attainment, progress and engagement into one A to F grade, weighted by data completeness. Independent and special schools are listed by Ofsted rating rather than scored.

Because they are measured on different things: primary schools on Key Stage 2 SATs, secondary schools on GCSE results and Progress 8. A grade A primary and a grade A secondary are not the same measurement, so we never rank them against each other. Each phase has its own full ranking for Alton, linked from its section above.
