Choosing a School in London
London's school system is organised by borough, with each of the 32 boroughs managing its own admissions. Popular family boroughs include Richmond, Barnet, and Wandsworth in the south and west, with grammar schools concentrated in outer areas like Kingston, Sutton, and Redbridge. Catchment areas for sought-after schools can be extremely tight, sometimes just a few hundred metres, and house prices reflect this. Many families also consider the transition from primary to secondary carefully, as feeder school arrangements vary by borough.

How Are Averages Calculated?
When viewing a school's performance data, you'll see comparisons like "+12% vs avg". These averages are calculated from all schools in our database, covering over 20,000 state-funded schools across England. For primary schools, we show KS2 SATs results (percentage meeting expected standard in reading, writing and maths). For secondary schools, we show GCSE results (percentage achieving grade 5 or above in English and maths).
