Grammar schools in London

A postcode (M41, or LS1 5AS) starts from the centre of its district; one of 20 places, such as Leeds, from the centre of its schools; a school’s name, such as Townley Grammar, from the school itself. England only. Straight-line distances.

Of the three grammar schools with a London address, one has a report card and two have an overall grade on the old scale. The oldest verdict, at The Henrietta Barnett School, dates from 4 May 2022; the latest, at The Latymer School, from 15 April 2026.

Here, London means the schools whose address in the register of schools gives London as the town; schools of the area with another town in their address are not included. Schools whose admissions policy is recorded as selective in the register of schools.

Each mark is one of the schools below, at the date of its latest inspection: report card key judgements only overall grade, old scale ungraded inspection. Behind them, the ruler Ofsted used on that date: pale, an overall grade on the old four-point scale (until 31 August 2024); mid blue, key judgements without an overall grade (from 1 September 2024); deep blue, report cards (from 10 November 2025).
