Using Pyxion Learn

What is free?
Searching any UK postcode and seeing every school within your radius on a map, the public page for every school, the grammar school list, key dates, guides and the community.
What do the reports add?
Results with the year shown on every figure, competition for places, 11+ tests and cut-offs, catchment rules and offer distances, inspection history and area statistics. The Comparison report puts two areas side by side; the Moving report adds house prices, deprivation, crime and who lives in the neighbourhood. Read more
How much does it cost?
An Area report is £5 per area, a Comparison report £11 and a Moving report £39, each for a fixed period. Pro is £29 a month and renews monthly; you can turn off auto-renew at any time. All prices include VAT. Read more
Which nations do you cover?
England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. The depth of data differs between nations because each publishes different information; our reports say what is available for each school. Read more
How up to date is the data?
We check our sources every day and refresh each one when its publisher releases new figures. Every figure shows the year it relates to.
Can you tell me if I will get a place?
No one can promise that: admissions change every year. We show each school’s rules and what happened in recent years, which is the best guide to your chances. Read more

When do I apply for a primary school place in England?

When do I register for the 11+?
Usually in the spring or summer term of Year 5, months before the test in September of Year 6. Check each area’s own dates. Read more
Does living in catchment guarantee a place?
Not in England or Wales: it gives priority, but if more catchment children apply than there are places, schools use their next rule, often distance. In Scotland, your catchment school is normally guaranteed. Read more
How long do I have to appeal?
In England, at least 20 school days from the date you were told your application was unsuccessful. The admission authority publishes the exact deadline. Read more
What is a placing request?
In Scotland, a request for a school other than your catchment school. Send it by 15 March for an August start; the council must decide by 30 April. Read more

Tutors and tuition centres

How are tutors listed?
Providers who join get a page written with them and checked by our team. Featured providers pay for extra, sponsored placement, which is always labelled. Paying never changes school data or the order of unpaid listings. Read more
I run a tuition centre. How do I join?
Tell us about your centre. Your page is free; we write it with you and you approve it before it goes live. Each month you can see how many parents viewed, clicked and enquired. Read more
