None of these carries an Ofsted grade, and that is not a bad sign. Fee-paying schools are inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate, not Ofsted, and the ISI publishes no open data feed. A missing rating here means we cannot see one, never that the school was judged poorly. Fees are not published as open data either, so they are not shown.

The state schools alongside them

The same area holds 95 state primary and 28 state secondary schools, and those do carry Ofsted ratings and exam results. See the full school breakdown for SW10 →

Checking a specific address

Distance from a school is measured to a front door, not to a district's centre. Put a postcode in and the report works out the real distance to each school, alongside flood risk, sold prices, crime and the rest.

75 fee-paying schools within 3 miles of central SW10, Kensington and Chelsea, from the Department for Education's register. Each one's age range, whether it selects and how full it is are listed on this page.

Do private schools in SW10 have Ofsted ratings?

No, and a blank rating is not a bad sign. Fee-paying schools are inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate rather than Ofsted, and the ISI publishes no open data feed, so no rating exists for us to show.

Are private schools in SW10 selective?
