Compare schools
Put up to six schools side by side on the official figures — without turning unlike measures into one misleading score.
How to compare schools
- Find a school by name, town, local authority or postcode.
- Use the plus button in a school list, or Add to comparison on its page.
- Select up to six schools and open the comparison tray.
What the comparison includes
School type, ages, size and capacity; historic Ofsted grades or current report-card status; key stage 2, GCSE and sixth-form measures where they genuinely apply; admissions demand; pupil-intake context; and the neighbourhood around each school.
How to read the differences
A higher result is not proof of better teaching: attainment is strongly related to intake. Ofsted's historic overall grades and current report cards are different systems, missing figures are not zero, and a fixed catchment boundary cannot predict this year's offers. The comparison keeps those caveats next to the numbers.
