Top-rated schools by area — FAQ
- How does GeraLearn decide which schools to list for a local authority?
- Each local-authority page lists every state-funded school in that area that Ofsted currently grades Outstanding (1) or Good (2), taken from Ofsted management information (31 May 2026, OGL v3.0). Local authorities with at least 3 such schools get a page; the rest are covered in the England-wide school directory.
- Which local authority has the most top-rated schools here?
- Kent leads this directory with 25 Outstanding and Good schools listed (18 Outstanding and 7 Good). See the full list on the Kent page.
- Are these school rankings or league tables?
- No. These pages list schools by their official Ofsted overall-effectiveness grade — they are not a GeraLearn ranking and do not use exam results. Ofsted grades every school against the same national framework.
