Best secondary schools in Greenwich

15 of 17 secondary schools ranked by Progress 8 · all Greenwich schools · primary schools

Applying in Greenwich

Knowing which school is best is only half of it — these are the deadlines that decide whether you can apply at all.

Rankings compare published results. They do not tell you which school your child will get into — that depends on where you live, sibling and faith priority, and how many people apply this year. Ask below, or check the Greenwich admission criteria.
