What this list isn't
- Not a catchment guarantee. Distance is a tiebreaker, not a guarantee. Sibling rules, faith priority, EHCP and lottery rules vary by local authority.
- No Ofsted ratings here. Check the Ofsted website for current inspection grades.
- Boundaries are approximate. A few schools just outside the official town boundary may also be relevant. Sort by distance to find them on a property report.
- Independent schools may be incomplete. Listings reflect only schools registered in the official datasets.
FAQ
We list every Open school whose registered location falls inside Preston's town boundary. State, faith, special and nursery provision is included; some independent schools also appear if registered with the Department for Education.
We don't currently publish Ofsted grades on this page. The Ofsted website has the most current report for any school listed here, including any inspection that's underway.
Distance is one tiebreaker among several. Most local authorities prioritise siblings, then children with an EHCP or in care, then faith criteria for faith schools, then distance, measured by their own rules (straight line, walking route, or by LSOA). Always check the school's published admissions priorities and last year's furthest-distance-offered.
School records come from the Department for Education's "Get Information About Schools" service for England and the Welsh Government schools register for Wales. Both update continuously; we refresh monthly.
