We're glad that you are joining us
Would you be prepared to help us with our next redesign?
O
ur reviews, and our choice of schools, are based on conversations with parents. As we redesign our website, and look at how we present ourselves in print and on mobile phones and everything in-between, we would like to ask you, our users, for your views and advice.
If you agree to this, we will write to you from time to time as our ideas develop.
If there is anything you would like us to be thinking of from the very start of the redesign, please tell us [email protected]. Things we should do better, things we do not do but should - anything you want us to pay attention to. We would particularly appreciate examples of organisations like us, with a lot to say about a range of different things, that present themselves well on mobile devices, and make their information easy to discover and to absorb.

Need help?
Perhaps you suspect your child has some learning difficulty and you would like advice on what you should do. Or perhaps it is becoming clear that your child's current school is not working for him or her, and you need help to find a mainstream school which has better SEN provision, or to find a special school which will best cater for your child's area of need. Our SEN consultancy team advises on both special schools, and the mainstream schools with good SEN support, from reception through to the specialist colleges for 19+.

At specialist music, dance or performing arts schools, the arts aren't optional extras. They’re intrinsic to the school curriculum. Students are expected to fit in high level training and hours of practice alongside a full academic provision.
It's a lot to ask any child to take on, but for those with exceptional performing ability this kind of education can be transformative.

There are currently around 163 state funded grammar schools located in 36 English local authorities, with around 167,000 pupils between them. There are a further 69 grammar schools in Northern Ireland, but none in Wales or Scotland. Almost half of these are in what are considered 'selective authorities' (eg Kent and Buckinghamshire), where around one in five local children are selected for grammar school entry based on ability. The others are areas such as Barnet or Kingston, with only a few grammar schools.
