Before you apply

Our secondary schools have a lot to be proud of. They work hard to deliver positive outcomes for every pupil in our schools.

In 2024, students in Islington did better than students in other parts of the country in GCSEs or their equivalent (Key Stage 4). In particular, they got higher scores in English and Maths, and more students passed the English Baccalaureate.

Don’t include private schools in your application.

You can check your home to school distance to any Islington school using your local area.

You'll find lots of useful information in our secondary school admissions guide.
