London Underground

Information on all schools, colleges and universities in the UK can be found easily on the Internet.

You can search for schools in the public and private sector and find out how well they are performing by reading the most recent reports from the Office for Standards in Education, Children's Services and Skills (OFSTED).

Most schools apply selection criteria when allocating places to students. This means that you may need to live in the ‘catchment area’ or local vicinity of the school for your child to gain a place.

You can choose from the local state schools in the area where you live. But, because there is a lot of competition for places at the best performing schools, your child may not be successful in gaining a place at the school of their choice.
