All towns A–Z

Towns are grouped by the address on each school's official record, so very small places appear under their nearest postal town. For those, the postcode search gives a complete picture of what is in reach.

Frequently asked questions

Which schools are included in this directory?

Every open school on the official register for each nation we cover (the Department for Education's official Get Information about Schools register (England); the Scottish Government's official school contact details (Scotland); the Welsh Government's official address list of schools (Wales)), grouped by the town in the school's registered address. Towns with fewer than five registered schools are not listed separately — use the postcode search to cover them.

Does the directory cover the whole UK?

The directory covers England, Wales and Scotland from each nation's official register. Northern Ireland uses a separate register; our Find Schools Near a Postcode tool falls back to OpenStreetMap there.

Can I use this directory to choose a school?

Use it to see what exists where, then verify everything that matters — admissions policy, catchment, inspection reports and cut-off distances — through each school's official record and the local authority. A directory listing says nothing about quality or admission chances.
