There are 13 schools within 2 km, 10 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. 2 are rated Outstanding. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 296m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision.

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