Good Schools Guide
The organisation reviews approximately 1,200 schools. It covers sectors like state and independent schools, mainstream and special schools, boarding and day schools. Strengths and weakness of one school is compared with another. The method of collecting news and views can bring to you good schools that only a neighbourhood knew. This guide will help you decide, as one school that may be good to one child is not to another.
The website is full of information. On the main menu you can read on various categories, such as Help & Advice, Find a School, Community and News & Data. There's also a 'Good Schools Guide Interactive' which helps locate your desired school on a map, after filling in the boxes the details.
