How to find schools near you
Enter any UK postcode (e.g. SW1A 1AA, M1 1AE) or US ZIP code (e.g. 77001, 10001) and we will list the closest schools within the radius you choose. Results are sorted by distance, with each school's rating, phase and location visible at a glance. You can switch between primary/secondary or elementary/high using the phase filter on the near-me pages.
Our ratings combine the official published data for the UK — Ofsted and GCSE / Attainment 8 for the UK, state test proficiency and NCES data for the US — into a single 0–10 School Finder score. Schools without a published rating show an NR (Not Rated) badge and sort lower in the list by default.
