About School Facts UK

A free, complete and honest reference for every school in England, built directly from the official data.

What it is

Every state and independent school in England — 23,890 of them — with exam results, Ofsted outcomes, pupil numbers, intake and the Census picture of the surrounding neighbourhood. No account, no paywall, no data withheld to sell back to you.

What it will not do

• Rank schools that cannot fairly be ranked. Independent schools mostly enter international GCSEs that the performance tables do not count, and special schools serve pupils the measures were never designed for. Both are listed in full; neither is scored against mainstream state schools.
• Draw catchment maps. Catchments are set per school, per year, by the number of applicants. A fixed boundary on a map is either last year's cut-off or an invention. We show real distance instead, and point you at the school's own admissions arrangements.
• Print an Ofsted badge as if it were current. Overall grades ended in September 2024 and report cards now grade separate aspects. Every judgement here is dated and labelled with its framework.
• Collect reviews. A handful of self-selected parent ratings tells you less than the intake data does.

Corrections

Figures come from the source files unchanged; where a school's own record is wrong, the fix has to happen in the DfE register and will flow through here at the next update. If School Facts has joined, labelled or interpreted a published field incorrectly, use the contact route below and include the page URL, URN and source figure so the issue can be reproduced.

Privacy and analytics consent

The site needs no account and does not ask for a child's or applicant's details. A postcode search is used only to locate nearby schools and is not stored by School Facts. Google Analytics runs under Consent Mode with advertising storage always denied and analytics storage denied by default; choosing “Allow” grants analytics storage, while “No thanks” leaves it denied. The choice is stored in this browser and can be changed by clearing the site's local storage.
