Child's date of birthWe work out which year group your child would join next September and only show schools that take that age. Your child's date of birth isn't saved anywhere.

Stage of educationNursery shows nursery schools and primary schools with a nursery class (from age 3 or younger). Primary schools usually take ages 4-11 (Reception to Year 6); secondary schools take ages 11-16, or 11-18 with a sixth form.

Grammar or non-selectiveGrammar schools choose pupils by an entrance test, often called the 11-plus. Non-selective schools don't test.

FaithFaith schools have a religious character and may give priority to families of that faith in their admissions.

Boys, girls or mixed

Ofsted ratingThe overall grade from the school's latest full Ofsted inspection. Newer inspections no longer give a single grade, so some recently inspected schools show no rating here.
