School Atlas lists 39 state primary schools, 9 state secondary schools, 1 all-through school, 6 special schools, 4 alternative provision schools and 1 post-16 school or college in Islington. It also lists 6 independent schools and 94 nurseries and other early-years settings.
Of the state primary, secondary and all-through schools, 14 have a religious character: 7 Church of England and 7 Roman Catholic.
Of the 49 state primary, secondary and all-through schools in Islington, 37 hold an Ofsted overall-effectiveness grade from their last graded inspection: 10 Outstanding and 27 Good.
Ofsted stopped giving state schools a single overall grade in September 2024. Since November 2025 its report cards grade each area separately; 3 of these schools have had one.
Islington doesn't use catchment areas. Places go by each school’s own admission criteria, not an area you live inside.
We also hold last-distance-offered records for 27 schools. That distance is not always a cut-off: at a school with places to spare it is simply the furthest applicant.
