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.

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 resultSchools inspected since November 2025 have a report card that grades each area, with no overall grade. Other schools still have an older overall grade. Pick from either list.
