About us
What is Schoolchecker.uk?
Schoolchecker.uk is a free guide to help you find and compare schools in England. We bring official figures together in one place — so you can build a shortlist with your eyes open, before you book visits or talk to your council about admissions.
Schools
Ofsted grades, inspection dates, attendance, attainment (including KS2 and Progress 8), and pupil profile — FSM, SEN, EAL and roll numbers — where government data is published.
Your postcode
Enter your full postcode for straight-line distances from home, an interactive map, and filters for schools within a few miles — even across neighbouring districts.
The wider area
Census and deprivation context, crime indicators, school mix in the district, and extras such as typical house prices or broadband where we have them — to help you picture the neighbourhood, not just the league table.
Figures come from open government releases and may lag the latest publish date. Use us to compare and explore — then visit schools you like and check admission rules with the school and your local authority.
Everything in one place
Each postcode district page pulls together school facts and local context in one place, so you can compare options and get a feel for the area before you narrow your shortlist.
