About these results

Independent schools charge fees and set their own admissions, so there is no catchment, but distance still matters for the daily commute. We rank nearby independents on results and our FMS Inspection Score, which draws on ISI and Ofsted inspection reports.

Independent (private) schools are fee-paying and are not funded by the state. We include prep, senior and all-through independent schools, plus their sixth forms.
