Compare schools performance

The Department for Education has launched a new web tool helping parents find and compare local schools’ performance. It significantly improves parents’ ability to choose the right school for their child.

For the first time on the Department's website, parents can:

• select the schools that interest them and compare performance side by side
• view a full list of schools in England and filter to find schools with similar characteristics
• use an interactive map to view local, regional and national averages for school performance.
