There are 12 schools within 2 km, 11 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 74m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision.

The low safety score is the dominant factor affecting liveability here.
