How far schools admitted from, council by council
After each admissions round, councils publish how far away the last child offered a place at each oversubscribed school lived. That figure is the closest thing most English schools have to a catchment. We hold it for 3,251 schools across 82 councils. Pick yours.

Councils
A council missing from this list has not published its figures in a form we can import, or publishes none. We add councils as their data becomes available and never model a distance where none was published: a modelled estimate is marked as such wherever it appears on this site.
Checking one address
Every school page has a checker: put a postcode in and it is measured against that school's distance. The full property report does the same for every school near an address at once, alongside the house itself.
