Product Description

Review

"The only independent guide to over 800 UK schools age 5-18 - state and private sector. Fully updated. No advertising or paid-for entries. 'One of the best aids for parents...informative and witty' -The Financial Times 'Unique among the many guides available, it sets out to give frank answers to the questions every parent asks. It told the truth.' -The Daily Telegraph 'Like its predecessors, it is based on visits and the views of parents, pupils and staff. It is just as untroubled by the sensibilities of schools and as cavalier in the face of squawks from those it has offended.' -TES"

5.0 out of 5 stars The best I've found, 14 Mar 2008
I've looked at lots of school guides and they were all a waste of time because the information was written by the schools themselves and their marketing departments had made sure they all sounded great. I had no idea that there was an independent source of information like this. I can't believe the schools let them do this, but as a parent I can just say it has been incredibly useful. There are a few schools it doesn't cover which is annoying, but otherwise five stars definitly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Indispensable tool for parents, 14 Mar 2008
By Annabel B (London) - See all my reviews
As an independent source of information on the best schools in the UK, the Guide cannot be bettered. It gives the real flavour of each school and captures all the essentials from the background and character of the Head, the academic record, issues such as entrance and exit, pastoral care, the pupils and parents, right down to the actual feel of the physical facilities and other noteworthy features such as the quality of the lunches. The reports are set out clearly under headings, allowing for comparison between schools, and are written with knowledge and wisdom as well as humour. For any parent trying to assess a school from the outside, it is essential reading.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Good Guide to Good Schools, 25 Jul 2006
By C Dempster (London, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Good Schools Guide 2006 (Paperback)
This is a good guide to hundreds of (mainly) independent good schools. However there are many junior schools not shown and there is the odd very good secondary school that is also not listed, so this is not a definitive guide. Typically the book allocates 2 or 3 pages to each school detailing its background , the headmaster, its academic tradition and extra-curricular activities. The book has proven to be very useful when compiling a short list of potential schools to visit.
