We use PLASC/NPD with detailed data on pupils’ test scores, locations, pupil characteristics and school characteristics. We provide evidence on school commutes, on distances to good schools, and on who goes to their local school. The paper shows significant differences in school commute times, and availability of school choice by geography, by ethnicity and by deprivation.
