The area around the school

Crimes within 500 m7412 months to June 2026, mostly violence and sexual offences
Local crime rate69 per 1,000 people24% lower than the England average

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.
