Fee-paying schools are inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate, not Ofsted, and the ISI publishes no open data feed. That is why they carry no rating here. A missing grade means we cannot see one, not that the school was judged poorly.

Relevant beyond study: a large student population shapes rental demand, and term-time letting is a different market from family letting.
