Schools Nearest is City of London School for Girls · 12 within 2.0 km 300 m
State and independent schools. Ofsted replaced its single overall grade with a report card of separate area grades in November 2025, so a school shows either those area grades, an earlier overall grade with its year, or the result of an ungraded inspection - a check that the previous grade still holds rather than a new judgement. Independent schools are inspected by the ISI, which publishes no grades, so they show none.
