About schools near Canterbury
This page gathers the 60 nearest schools to the centre of Canterbury, closest first. The closest is Barton Manor School, less than a mile away in a straight line. Some sit under a neighbouring town or local authority, because distance does not follow administrative boundaries.
Every school here is inspected by Ofsted. Follow any school for its inspection history and, where results have been published, its exam performance. Distances are measured in a straight line from the centre of Canterbury, so a school that is close by road may fall a little further down this list; to see only the schools listed under Canterbury itself, open its schools page.
