Primary & Secondary Schools in City of London 2026

All 7 open schools across City of London, listed A–Z. We do not publish a comparative score for these schools.

City of London has 7 open primary & secondary schools. Of the 2 with a published Ofsted inspection, 2 (100%) held a historic grade of Outstanding — these are the last single-word grades from before Ofsted retired them on 10 November 2025 (how we treat Ofsted data). Closed schools are excluded from every list on this page.

Schools here are not inspected by Ofsted and do not appear in the DfE performance tables for England, so we have no measure that is comparable with the rest of our data. Rather than publish a score we cannot stand behind, we show the schools without one — see our methodology. Check the admitting authority for local application deadlines.

Frequently asked questions

How many primary & secondary schools are there in City of London?
There are 7 open primary & secondary schools in City of London (closed schools are excluded). 2 of the 2 with a published inspection held a historic Ofsted grade of Outstanding (the last single-word grade before single-word grades were retired on 10 November 2025).
Do you rank the primary & secondary schools in City of London?
No. Schools in City of London are not inspected by Ofsted and are not covered by the DfE performance tables for England, so we have no measure comparable with the rest of our data and do not publish a Schools Near Me score for them. The table above lists the schools A–Z. We never list closed schools.
How is the Schools Near Me score calculated?
The Schools Near Me score is a 0–100 composite combining the school's last historic Ofsted grade, published exam and assessment results, attendance and pupil–teacher ratio. It is not an Ofsted rating. Full methodology: https://schoolsnearme.ai/methodology#score
Are Ofsted single-word grades still current in City of London?
No. Ofsted retired single-word overall grades (Outstanding, Good, Requires Improvement, Inadequate) on 10 November 2025 and replaced them with report cards. Any single-word grade shown on this page is the school's last historic grade from before that date and is not comparable to the new report cards. See https://schoolsnearme.ai/methodology#ofsted
