How many schools are there in England?

We list 25,115 schools across England's 153 local authorities, spanning primary, secondary and special schools, academies and free schools.

How are schools in England rated?

By Ofsted. Historically each school had a single overall grade — Outstanding, Good, Requires improvement or Inadequate. From September 2024 Ofsted reports without an overall grade, so the most recently inspected schools may not have one.

Can I find teaching jobs in a specific area?

Yes. Every local authority, county and town page shows the latest open teaching vacancies in that area alongside its schools, so you can search jobs and schools together.

Where does the school data come from?

Get Information About Schools (GIAS), Ofsted and the Department for Education, published under the Open Government Licence. Always confirm details with the school.

About schools in England

UKTeachingJobs brings together 25,115 schools across England's 153 local authorities — including state-funded primary, secondary and special schools, academies and free schools (around 16,663 primary and 3,169 secondary). Each school profile combines its latest Ofsted rating, Key Stage results, size, type and academy trust, so you can compare schools at a glance.

1,127 of the schools with a current published Ofsted judgement are rated Outstanding. Ofsted paused single-word overall grades in September 2024, so more recently inspected schools may not carry one — we show the most recent published grade where it's available.

Whether you're a teacher searching for your next role or a parent comparing local options, browse by local authority, county, town or postcode. Every area page also lists the latest open teaching jobs nearby, so you can line up where you'd want to work with where the vacancies are.

Information is drawn from Get Information About Schools (GIAS), Ofsted and the Department for Education, under the Open Government Licence.
