The four grades
Until 2024: Outstanding, Good, Requires improvement or Inadequate as one overall grade. Many schools still show one; check its year.

- Requires improvement
- Inadequate
- Ofsted since 2025
Report cards, no single grade
Inspections since November 2025 grade several areas, from exceptional to urgent improvement. We never merge them with an older grade.
Read more: Report cards, no single grade - Primary results
Key stage 2 (SATs)
Tests at 11 in reading, maths and grammar; writing is teacher-assessed. Headline: share of pupils at the expected standard in all three.
Read more: Key stage 2 (SATs) - Secondary results
Attainment 8 and Progress 8
Attainment 8: grades across eight GCSEs; 50 is about a grade 5 each. Progress 8: gain since 11 against similar pupils; 0 is average.
Read more: Attainment 8 and Progress 8 - Secondary results
Grade 5 in English and maths, EBacc
GCSEs run 9 (top) to 1; 4 is a standard pass, 5 a strong pass. EBacc: English, maths, sciences, a language, history or geography.

Catchment and last distance offered
Full schools rank by rules: children in care, often siblings, then distance. The last distance offered changes every year: a hint, not a place.
Read more: Catchment and last distance offered - Admissions
Faith criteria
A full faith school may put families of its faith first, often with a form and a reference of worship. Read its own rules.
Read more: Faith criteria - Admissions
Appeals and waiting lists
Refused a place? Join the waiting list and appeal to an independent panel. Infant classes are capped at 30, so those appeals rarely win.
Read more: Appeals and waiting lists - Key dates
Apply in autumn, hear in spring
Secondary: apply by 31 October, offers 1 March. Primary: by 15 January, offers 16 April. One form to your council, three to six choices (six in London).

What a top list means here
One published measure, one phase, London state schools, latest year. A rank says nothing about fit or admissions.
