Unique, straight talking, indispensible

The Good Schools Guide was founded in 1985 by Amanda Atha and Sarah Drummond, two parents in search of schools for their children. They visited hundreds of schools and wrote about their experiences in the direct and independent style that still characterises the Guide. Twenty-four years later there are over fifty editors, spread throughout the UK; most are parents with young children, a few are former heads and senior teachers. 

"It is highly opinionated: the only guide that offers parents a genuine flavour of what a school is like."
