Ranked on Met expected standard (RWM), 2024/25 — the most recent year each school has published. Official data, not our opinion — but the ranking is only as good as the measure, and a single number never describes a school. We hold real catchment boundaries for 264 of them.
- 231 of 294 rated Good or Outstanding
- 25 oversubscribed on first preference
- 10 Good or better and undersubscribed — the overlooked ones
