Which of these are near an address

The schools guide measures each school from the postcode typed, so the answer is a list nearest first rather than a council. A district is wide, so check the address itself before counting on a distance.

What this list is, and is not

Source: the Department for Education's Get Information About Schools register, which every school in England must keep current, refreshed here with each import. "How full" is pupils on roll against the school's stated capacity, where both are reported. The register carries no fees, no entrance requirements and no inspection grades for independent schools: those are on each school's own site and the Independent Schools Inspectorate's. A school missing here is not registered in Waltham Forest, which for a school on a boundary can mean it is listed under the neighbouring council.
