Find schools and colleges
Explore open schools and colleges in the Portsmouth council area. Search by name, ward or postcode, filter by type and sort the columns.
66 establishments in the Department for Education register, downloaded 1 November 2026. Some Portsmouth families use schools outside the council boundary; those are not listed here.
Read the numbers carefully. 2025/26 GCSE figures are provisional and apply only where published and comparable. Schools have different intakes and circumstances; exam results alone do not measure a school’s quality. A missing figure is not zero. Independent-school qualifications may not be included in these headline measures. Inspection data is a snapshot as at 30 September 2026 and may have changed; follow the report link for the latest inspection. The older overall grades and newer report-card judgements use different frameworks and should not be treated as equivalent. Ofsted’s personal development and wellbeing judgement is not a pupil happiness score; no comparable happiness score is available here.

Primary expected standard is the percentage of eligible pupils meeting the expected level in reading, writing and maths combined in 2024/25. A-level average points is the average per entry for 2024/25, with an equivalent grade; it does not cover all vocational study. Both depend on the pupils and qualifications included. 2026 primary school-level results are expected in December 2026. Attainment 8 is an average score across a specified set of qualifications; English and maths is the percentage achieving grade 5 or above in both. The figures cover pupils at the end of key stage 4. Suppressed, unavailable and non-comparable data are shown as “Not available”.
