Why distance isn’t enough

Portals tell you distance. Distance isn’t probability

Stop viewing flats that don’t work for school. Check first

0.2 miles could be the cutoff — or it could be well inside. Meridian tells you the actual odds, computed from real admissions history, including academies that publish no data at all.

Data covers the 2025–26 admissions year

Your strategy

Works whatever your strategy

Meridian is useful at every stage of the family planning process — whatever approach you’re taking.

State schools only

Find the best state options within reach of your address and know your real odds of a place.

State until 8, then reassess

Lock in a strong state primary catchment and keep your secondary options open for when the time comes.

State to grammar

Identify addresses where your state primary pathway feeds naturally into selective school catchments.

Independent with state backup

Ensure your address gives you viable state options — the insurance policy if fees stop making sense.

All analysis is based on historical admissions data and updated annually. We encourage you to check back as your timeline evolves.

Why trust it

Built like an analyst would build it

No lifestyle photography, no fear framing — just the admissions record, modelled properly.

Self-serve access to the data that used to require a pricey educational consultant — available instantly, for any address.

Official DfE admissions data

Built from official Department for Education admissions data, updated annually.

Academies covered — even without a published boundary

Academy catchments are inferred from historical admissions distances — the only tool that covers schools that publish no boundary data at all.

Priority modelling built in

Sibling allocations, SEN places, and staff children are removed from the denominator before your score is calculated.

Five-year trends, not snapshots

Ofsted grades and last distance offered are shown as a 5-year trend, so one unusual year never misleads you.
