Thinking ahead to the next stage in your child’s education? Or moving home but want to know the best schools beforehand?
It’s hard to know where to start when looking for the best school for your child. It’s a very important decision and schools differ in so many ways. This is why School Guide was created and now trusted by 15,000+ parents every day.
We all want to set our children up with the best opportunities in life and what better way than choosing a school that is best suited to your child’s individual needs so they grow and develop in their own way?
Whether your child is going to primary or secondary school, it can be so overwhelming to choose a school - one you’re happy with and one your child is happy with. Most of us have some indication of which schools could be in the running but we want to gain expert advice and guidance on how the schools really perform - on a data and human level (i.e. parents in the playground!). And, importantly, for state schools, whether their home postcode puts them in the catchment area.
School Guide is the only site in the UK that provides stats from 34,000 different schools all using official sources and candid reviews by parents who actually have children going to a particular school.
