How FindGreatSchools Works
We combine official government data with powerful search tools to help you find the right school for your family.
1. Search by location
Enter a postcode, town, or address and we will show you every school within your chosen radius. Our interactive map makes it easy to visualise which schools are nearby and explore the surrounding area.
2. Filter by what matters to you
Narrow down your results using filters that matter to your family. Filter by school type, Ofsted rating, pupil demographics, exam results, and more. Every data point comes directly from the Department for Education.
3. Compare schools side by side
Once you have found schools that interest you, dive into detailed profiles showing everything from GCSE results and Progress 8 scores to pupil ethnicity breakdowns and free school meal eligibility. All the information you need in one place.
4. Find your tribe
FindGreatSchools goes beyond test scores. We help you understand the community around each school — the cultural mix, the demographics, and the character of the area — so you can find a school where your family truly belongs.
