Choosing a school: what the list can and can't tell you
The finder lists the schools closest to a postcode as the crow flies, with their type, age range, number of pupils and latest Ofsted outcome. It's a good starting point, but distance alone doesn't decide who gets a place.
Catchment areas and admissions. Every school has admission criteria, set by the council for community schools and by the school itself for academies, free schools and faith schools. Most give priority to looked-after children and siblings, then to distance, but some use catchment maps, faith or aptitude. Last year's "furthest distance offered" figure, which most councils publish, is far more useful than a straight-line distance.
Ofsted ratings. Older reports give a single grade from Outstanding to Inadequate. Ofsted has since moved to report cards that grade several areas separately, so a recently inspected school may read differently. Check the date too: a grade from many years ago may not reflect the school today.
Before you buy for a school, check the council's admissions booklet for the year you'll apply, visit on an open day, and look at the school's own website for its results and oversubscription criteria. Homes in sought-after catchments often sell at a premium, so it's worth being sure.
