The area around the school

Crimes within 500 m46712 months to June 2026, mostly violence and sexual offences
Local crime rate146 per 1,000 people60% higher than the England average
Nearest bus stop80 mRoundhouse Road, 13 stops within 500 m

Crime figures come from police.uk. The police record each crime at the nearest of a fixed set of map points rather than the exact spot, so “within 500 m” is only rough. House prices are from HM Land Registry sales nearby over the last two years.
