Gillian Dixon, CEO of Teachers To Your Home, commented on the findings:

“It’s important to note that higher house prices don’t always mean you’re moving into areas with the best schools.

“For instance, Hertsmere has the 22nd highest average price for detached homes, at £1,063,355, yet only 8.2% of its schools are rated ‘outstanding’.

“The top ten areas are spread evenly across the north and south, so wherever you are in the country, there may be a location near you with better educational opportunities.”
