There are 21 schools within 2 km, 21 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 8 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 205m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. The data suggests this area could appeal to young professionals.

Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
