Locrating Reviews 589

We've been using Locrating extensively in the past few months while exploring where to move to with our young family. The site made it super easy to compare schools (both primary and secondary) and see socio-economic and crime ratings of an area. We visited so many of the neighborhoods and towns we checked online, and compared the info from the site to areas we know well, and this helped us understand how to translate the value from the site to what it means on the ground. After some experience it feels like you can glean loads of info from using the site! I would highly recommend it if you're trying to assess your next move and prioritise schools and safety. The cost of subscription is nothing compared to any of the costs involved in moving a house anyway.

I cannot recommend Locrating enough. We used their platform to narrow down which schools to tour and to identify which state schools were truly worth exploring. The depth of educational statistics and catchment area insights is far superior to any other tool I’ve found.

It gave us the confidence to purchase our flat in NW5, knowing exactly where we stood regarding catchment risk.

It’s clearly a labor of love from a dedicated family business. Truly an essential tool for any parent or homebuyer in the UK!

Worth every penny. Quickly helped us shortlist new family homes.

The website is very accurate. Has got true knowledge which is updated frequently and the data is correlant when compared to the ones in gov.uk. I could be able to find a proper school which matched our needs.

Loads of useful information. Used for shortlisting High Schools and found this to be invaluable. Website very easy to use given how much info is on there.

Really helpful info, really helped me narrow down schools and choose one in a new county in time before tricky summer holiday period when it's harder to transfer. Knowing catchment areas number of pupils and general results was very constructive.

This is a very useful website with details on school performance and location.

Locrating was an incredibly useful site for us. We was searching for a new place to live based on schooling and we was living overseas at the time. It gave us social / economic information on areas and school reports all in one place. The ability to add the Crome add-on (sorry I don’t know it’s official description ) allowed me to be on rightmove and have all the information on the same page. I think it was worth the subscription fee ! A must need for returning expats who can’t view areas and schools in person and helps pinpoint areas you may potentially want to live in!!

Very useful site, has all the data you need for finding a neighborhood or a school. I purchased the 3 month membership, which came with a ton of useful features and doesn't auto-renew, which is perfect for the length of a house hunt.

Subscribed for about six months while moving house. Used Chrome plugin for Rightmove and it was pretty seamless - much easier than tracking down the various data websites for schools, society and environment separately. Well worth the rolling monthly subscription in the general context of the expense of a house move. Highly recommended and would use again (though hopefully not moving again for some time!).

This is an excellent website which gives you so much information at your fingertips to help make that important decision. Really intuitive and easy to use. It has really helped us.

Great site to get all the details for school choices So much information, easy to use and really nice customer service from this husband and wife team with an enquiry I had. Good deal on the prices too. Highly recommend.

One and only one useful tool to search uk school map.

Outstanding service! They were a great help as I couldn't work out the catchment area and they supplied me reports etc clearly in email. Definitely would recommend!

Locrating is incredibly useful, easy to use and well thought out - it is great to have so much excellent information in one place and has saved us so much time!

Locrating is amazing! To have all these data sets in one place makes an already stressful job way more manageable. Plus, I had some queries and reached out to Lewis (without expecting a response to be honest) and he has been so incredibly helpful. A great example of a company started by passionate people who understand the importance of these sorts of decisions and ready to go above and beyond to help!

The idea behind this website is honestly great, it has plenty of useful functionalities. Also, the support team is responsive, caring, and open to new ideas. Great business!

Incredibly helpful when exploring local primary school options for the first time with our eldest - explained all the different aspects of school performance well, with detailed school-level data as well. Would definitely recommend!

LocRating is an excellent source of all the relevant data about schools.
It guided me through the choice of primary schools in Richmond Borough in 2015 and, now again, through boarding schools across England, a completely different use case.
It's my first place of reference for schools in England and will continue to be so for the foreseeable future.

Lewis, Erika,
Kudos for your great work. Thank you!

We have used this app for choosing the primary school for our daughter. A lot of very useful information in a single place and easy to navigate. Highly recommend!
