Catchmently

Find schools, nurseries and childcare providers in England by name, optionally narrowed by town, county or postcode (not council or borough names: for "near Lambeth" use search_near_postcode). Returns up to 10 matches with their Catchmently IDs for get_school.

Every published last distance offered for one school (by entry year and intake, as the council or the school published it, with sources) and the council catchment or priority area. Free without sign-in until 4 January 2027.

Area facts for one full England postcode, each with its source, edition and licence: council, ward and constituency; rivers-and-sea flood risk; modelled road, rail and aircraft noise bands; Indices of Deprivation. For signed-in Catchmently pass holders it also has crime by type over 12 months, sold prices (postcode, sector, district), house price index and rents, broadband and mobile coverage, nearest stations and stops, nearest GP, shops and parks, surface-water flood risk and Census 2021 detail; without a pass those are marked locked.

Details for one school or nursery by Catchmently ID (from find_school or search_near_postcode): register details, latest Ofsted outcome with quoted strengths and areas to improve, exam results, and applications and offers. For a signed-in Catchmently pass holder it also has every published last distance offered and the council catchment or priority area (see get_admission_distances). Give a postcode to add the straight-line distance from it.

List schools, nurseries and childcare near an England postcode (full postcode or district such as SE22), nearest first, by straight-line distance from the postcode centre. Each school shows its latest Ofsted outcome, whether it is selective (grammar) and its religious character from the official register, and whether a last distance offered has been published; the figure itself is shown to signed-in Catchmently pass holders.
