Here, or somewhere else?

  • Both areas side by side, with the gap between them and whether it is meaningful
  • Every school in one area against every school in the other
  • Quality against competition against the cost of living there
  • A plain-English summary of what the numbers say

Built around the questions parents actually ask

Thinking of moving to get in

See how far offers have reached in recent years and what homes cost inside that distance, before you commit to a move.

Looking for less competition

Find good schools where fewer children apply for each place, and areas where the 11+ pass mark leaves more room.

Wanting more options

Count the realistic choices within reach, and which schools a single 11+ sitting covers.

Planning for the 11+

Who sets the test, what is in it, the deadlines, past qualifying scores, and tutors who prepare for it.

What you will see

We label each part honestly: what works today and what is still being built.

Numbers you can rely on

Parents make big decisions with this information, so every figure is checked, dated and compared like with like. When something is missing, like Progress 8 for 2025 and 2026, we say so rather than fill the gap.

  • The year on every number

    Results from different years are never mixed without a warning.

  • Gaps stay gaps

    Where a measure was not published, we show the last real figure, never an estimate.

  • Like with like

    Old and new inspection grades are never averaged together.

  • Guidance, not promises

    Admissions change every year; catchment information is guidance based on recent years.
