The School Record

Published admissions and inspection figures for schools in England, from the DfE, Ofsted and local authorities.

Schools in the CH4 postcode district

Chester

These are the newest figures we have for each school. "1st prefs per place" means how many families put the school first, for each place it gave out. It shows how many people want the school. It does not tell you if a child would get a place. A dash means we do not have that figure.

Demand for places in CH4

Across the 5 schools here with figures, the middle one drew 0.91 first preferences for every place it offered. 2 of 5 were named first by more families than they had places.

Demand is not admission. A school can be named first by far more families than it has places and still admit every applicant living in its catchment. Nothing on this page says anything about property values, and no figure here should be read as evidence about them.

Published admission zones covering CH4

484 of 484 live postcodes in this district (100%) fall inside at least one published admission zone. Being inside a zone is not an offer: it is one criterion among several, applied in a year we may not hold.

"Postcodes here" counts the postcodes in CH4 that fall inside the area. It does not count the whole area. A postcode can sit inside more than one area at a time. For example, a normal school area and a church school area can overlap.
