What's So Good About The Guide?

Unique

NO SCHOOL CAN PAY TO BE IN THE PRINTED GUIDE

WE CHOOSE THE SCHOOLS WE WANT TO REVIEW

WE VISIT SCHOOLS AND INDEPENDENTLY WRITE THE REVIEWS

The printed guide reviews1100+ schools. Those reviews are available to subscribers of this site but that is not all. We feature all 30,000+ schools in the UK and have a wealth of insightful information on virtually all English schools - even if we have not visited and reviewed them.

At the heart of the guide is an uncompromising commitment to supporting parents in getting the best education for their children and an unsurpassed knowledge about what makes a great school.

Choice - no other guide can match! We cover ALL UK Schools and provide detailed, unrivalled information on exam performance, special needs, travel safety, university destinations and more..
