Choosing a secondary school for your child is a big decision and most parents will choose to look round their top choices with their children and speak to teachers to get a feel for the school culture, ethos and facilities.
Many families also consider Ofsted results when making their selections and applying for a new place. With children across Greater Manchester finding out their offers on Wednesday 1 March, we took a look at which local schools currently have the top Ofsted rating of ‘Outstanding.’
The data is taken from the Ofsted website for secondary schools and independent schools within a 10-mile radius of Manchester as of 28 February 2023. Photos courtesy of Google Maps.
If you are unhappy with a school place offer, you can contact the council in the area where the school is based to appeal.
