Abbot Beyne School

We have been using Locrating for nearly 10 years to select our primary school and now secondary school. It is an invaluable tool especially if you are moving to a new area and do not know the local schools or which streets to live in. You can easily see where the best schools are that fit your search criteria as well as ideal areas to live in order to fall into the most recent catchment area. We would highly recommend this site to parents who need help choosing a school and/or area to live.

Very informative website and owner is extremely responsive to questions and suggestions. I recommend it all the time to people with school aged children who are moving.

Robust and accurate information is always provided by the team, a really valuable for any parent and (indeed any teacher) LE

This is a great website! We used Locrating to search for secondary schools for our son. Having the ability to view past exam results and the oversubscribed data is incredibly useful. We also ventured further afield than we may otherwise have explored and considered a house move which may tie in with the perfect school. Keep up the good work!

Perfect for school searching and also finding nearby homes

We are a family coming from abroad, looking for the best school for our child. Locrating is the best web site that we have found to know all the information needed to find the best school. We recommend it 100%

Great help if you are moving house or chosing schools, especially good if you are doing both

This service helps to narrow down the schools choice, showing the most necessary criteria in a very friendly way. Thank you for a great job.

A very helpful website to help young parents navigate their way through all the complexity of schools and nurseries!

Superb site - pin your location to find which schools you are in the catchment for and details on ofsted rating, parent opinions and more. Even find properties for rent / sale in the catchments of interest.

Overall a great site for anyone looking for the right school. The map could be easier to use on mobile phones, and it would be nice to see the ratio of student applications per school place on the school panel, important when moving school mid year. Also Rightmove would perhaps be a better partner for property than Zoopla as it has more houses listed and better school catchment details.

A most useful tool coagulating school data. It would help to be able to easily search for a school and it would help to be able to build shortlist of schools filer tonkey data.

Was a bit sceptical, I thought that free services you can find online probably had as much info, but have to Locrating say was well worth the money. Well designed and has really helped in our school search to make more informed decisions.

Indispensable tool for me as I am moving to the UK from Australia and was having a lot of trouble finding a good school. Using locrating in tandem with real estate sites made finding a place to live near good schools much easier.

We have been using locrating since the days when it was free...now they have improved the service with lots of additional features.. Good job :)

Its one comprehensive site where you can view of schools as well property. Does not get better than this.

Very useful.

I use Locrating.com almost daily as a resource for my Education Consultancy business and find the tool invaluable. The web team are also extremely responsive to feedback and updates and are therefore able to offer a service that families can really rely on to educate themselves on schooling options in particular areas.

We used it when trying to pick a school for our 4 yr old daughter and I can honestly say I have no idea how we would have managed if it wasn't for Locrating.

The site is great and the only one (as far as we can see) that offers all the information combined in this manner. It's very easy to navigate and configure so you can see the information on the types of schools that you are interested in.

We can't praise it enough. If you care about the standard and quality of school you are about to send your kids to, there is simply no other way to go. Without this you either have to look up the Ofsted reports yourself or take a risk and rely on other people's opinions.

Locrating has been an invaluable tool for navigating school choices. So much information in one place. It’s great for seeing state & private schools in your area, previous years catchments plus links to Ofsted reports, school websites and more. You can filter those available with lots of useful options like boys/girls/co-ed, state/private, religion or Ofsted rating etc.

Also if you’re thinking of relocating for a particular school or just to a new area, you can then tick a box to show properties for sale or to rent on the map alongside the schools.

I had a couple of technical glitches and was skeptical about using email for support, however I couldn’t have been more wrong-Lewis was extremely helpful and quick to respond. My glitches were fixed very fast.

If you're looking to move for schools or just research schools in a given area Locrating is invaluable. You can show schools on a map with catchment areas, alongside properties to rent or buy and use all of the usual search criteria for both including school results and rankings. I've used it now for secondary school research and again to plan a 6th form move. Finding Locrating has saved me loads of time and hassle and really taken the legwork out of the research. I cannot recommend it highly enough!

Absolutely MUST if you are moving houses, or selecting area to leave with a kids.

this is a great website that does what it says. also very handy when you are looking to buy. We have a 2 year old daughter and are currently looking for properties near a particular primary school. the map can include zoopla listings and so you can easily look at the properties available in the catchment area.

Great web site. I love that it keeps improving and adding new features. My family are hoping to relocate next year and it’s all with the help of Relocrating.
Well done !!

Locrating was amazing. It saved me hours and hours of research. All the facts at my fingertips. I was able to scroll around and bring up the info I was interested in on all the schools in my area. It was a useful tool when thinking of areas we might move to as well. So much information. An incredibly useful website.

Helpful and useful when researching an area. Has opened our eyes to some new options we have in our borough. Also, a necessity when looking for that next place where we might buy a house. Highly recommended!

Locrating really is a useful resource which has helped my wife and I navigate the school situation for our young ones. The data is comprehensive and well presented. What a clever name too!

Super easy to use and gives a great picture of catchment area info in just a few minutes. Has helped me out a lot!

Absolutely brilliant! Loads of information, easy to use and for the best value. Much better than other sites I’ve tried.

Handy. Updated always. Saves time.

An extremely helpful website that made the search for the right house and the best local schools so much easier. The site was recommended to us by friends who used it when they moved last year.

Invaluable source of information for parents needing more info about catchment areas and property prices within those. The data are accurate and the interface is easy to use. It was recommended by a friend and we found it an indispensable tool when looking at school for our children.

Although they're charging now it doesn't take away from the fact that it's a useful website to view all types of schools in your area. The comparison function and the property prices overlay on the map is very useful!

Locrating was a fantastic tool which helped us filter down the many choices of schools we were presented with. We just moved to the UK from overseas and the consolidated console with information about nearly every school as well as real estate was a great help.

One of the best tools available in the market if you are planning to buy a property and are concerned about the schools in the area! User friendly and smooth, i think its good value for money.

This is such a great website. It is so easy to see all the schools using the map and quickly read all of the relevant information about the schools. I like being able to order the schools in a specific area.
