The cheapest areas near an Outstanding-rated school

Homes near Thornhill Primary School (Shildon), an Outstanding-rated school, have a median sold price of just £57,500 — the most affordable in the country.

Homes within reach of an Outstanding school, ranked by lowest surrounding price.

How this was worked out

For every school rated Outstanding at its most recent inspection, the median sold price of homes recorded near it is computed; schools are ranked by that surrounding median, cheapest first (minimum 15 nearby sales).

Source: official Price Paid records and Ofsted inspection outcomes. As of 2026-09-05 . The median is used rather than the mean so a few unusual sales do not distort a figure.
