Outstanding Good Requires improvement Inadequate Report card No current grade published admission distance estimated

Report card: inspected since Ofsted stopped one-word grades in late 2024, so it has a report card rather than a grade. No current grade: Ofsted's register holds no graded inspection for the school, usually because it is new, or has become an academy and not yet been inspected as one.

No reading for an address here: GL53 is a district, and a school's admission distance is measured from a home, not from the middle of an area. Search a full postcode in GL53 and its table adds a column saying, school by school, whether that address sits inside last time's distance. Check a postcode

The table includes 9 fee-paying schools. State schools only

"Admitted from" is how far the last child offered a place lived, in the year shown, from the council's own published figure. Where a council publishes none, "est." is a modelled estimate and meaningfully less reliable. "No limit" means the council's own figure puts the furthest offer beyond any commute, so distance did not decide who got in. Results are the share meeting the expected standard for primaries, and Attainment 8 (A8) for secondaries: the Department for Education published no Progress 8 for 2024/25, because those pupils sat no Key Stage 2 tests in 2020. A school whose newest year still has a Progress 8 shows it as P8. Nothing here is a catchment boundary: most English schools have none, and the distance moves every year.
