What do the Ofsted ratings shown for SW1A schools mean?
Of the 11 schools within 1.5km of the SW1A centre that we matched to an Ofsted record, 1 are rated Outstanding and 5 Good at their last graded inspection, and 5 have no current grade because Ofsted stopped giving single-word judgements in September 2024. Inspections can be years apart, so treat a rating as the last formal verdict rather than a description of the school today.

Distances are straight-line from the outcode centre, not walking routes, and are not catchment areas — admissions are decided by each school or local authority.
"No current grade" means Ofsted inspected the school but, since September 2024, no longer gives single-word judgements; "Rating unavailable" means we could not match the school to an Ofsted record.
