Schools in E1 — FAQ

How good are the schools in E1?

There are 25 schools within a mile, of which 8 hold a positive Ofsted judgement (Good/Outstanding on the legacy scale, or Strong/Exceptional leadership under the new report card).

How many primary and secondary schools are in E1?

11 primary and 5 secondary schools sit within a mile of E1, drawn from the DfE GIAS register of open establishments. A further 9 nurseries, sixth forms or specialist schools are also nearby.

Where do the Ofsted ratings come from?

We join the DfE Get Information About Schools (GIAS) register with each school's latest Ofsted inspection. Pre-September 2024 inspections still use the legacy single-word judgement (Outstanding, Good, Requires Improvement, Inadequate). Newer inspections use the report card framework, where we display the Leadership area as the headline grade.

Are E1 schools good for families moving in?

Catchment and admissions don't follow our 1-mile radius — they're set by each school individually. Use this list as a starting point, then check the school's own admissions page for the latest catchment data before committing to a property.
