The Good Schools Guide

The Good Schools Guide is the leading, independent source of information on schools in the UK, helping parents with every aspect of choosing the best education for their children. Our website and range of publications provide a comprehensive collection of advice and education data on state, independent, boarding, selective and non-selective schools, tutors, special needs, university choice and much more. For more than thirty years we have been visiting schools in order to write comprehensive and succinct reviews. We carefully choose the schools we wish to review; none can pay to be included in our publications. Currently, we review more than 1,100 schools, covering state and independent, boarding and day, mainstream and special sectors. If a school is not reviewed in The Guide this does not necessarily mean it is not a good school – our selection is a personal one. We are always gently expanding our coverage to include more good local schools. If you know of one that we have missed, or have got wrong, please let us know. The Good Schools Guide Education Consultants offers tailor-made help and support on all educational issues and regularly advises parents on how to find the best schools for their children. We are repeatedly asked to help professional families who are relocating and needing to find schools but we are familiar with every difficulty parents face in finding a new school for their children. The Good Schools Guide is independent, forthright, well-informed and unbiased which gives us a unique authority. Our expert education advice has earned us the trust of parents and educational organisations worldwide.
