How it is worked outThe dashed circle is drawn from the school as far as the last child offered a place lived, in a straight line. A red dot is your home, with a line to the school. Tap the map to open the full Schools map.
- Councils measure distance their own way (some by walking route), so the circle is a guide, not a boundary.

How it is worked outRanked on 2026 GCSE results: Attainment 8, the average grade across eight GCSEs. One year and one figure: each school's place among Derbyshire's secondaries with a published figure that year; the share with grade 5 or above in English and maths breaks a tie. Schools on the same figures share a place. A school whose figure DfE hides (a small year group) or does not publish is not ranked, never put last. Source: DfE school performance tables.
- One rank everywhere on the site. A school with no published figure that year is not ranked, never put last.
