New data has identified areas in England with the best value for house prices and the highest quality education, with Kingston upon Hull taking first place.

Qualified teachers for tuition, Teachers To Your Home analysed Ofsted reports to find areas with the highest number of ‘outstanding’ schools and combined this with Home Office house price data to identify the locations with the best value for money.

Scores out of 100 were assigned to each area, with higher numbers indicating better value for housing and a greater number of outstanding schools.

Three Rivers is in second place, with a score of 73.73. The area boasts the third-highest percentage of ‘outstanding’ schools at 37.5% while having an average semi-detached house price of £568,877 over the past 12 months.

Hartlepool ranks seventh, with a score of 69.35. The northern town has the lowest average flat price at £68,957, and 15.4% of its schools are labelled ‘outstanding’.

In eighth place is Newham, with a score of 69.19, followed by Redcar and Cleveland at 69.03. Wigan takes tenth place with a score of 67.75.

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.”
