One search box. No ads. No paywall. No pay-to-win rankings. Built because the information parents need was scattered across a dozen government websites.
There are already plenty of places to look up a school. Gov.uk has the basics. Ofsted reports live on Ofsted’s site. DfE publishes exam tables. Land Registry handles house prices. Your council handles admissions.
Nothing pulls them together. So parents end up with six browser tabs open, trying to weigh up two schools with half the data in different formats and no way to compare them directly.
Ofsted rating and full inspection history. KS2 SATs, GCSEs, A-levels, Progress 8 where available.
Catchment distance, house prices, transport links, flood risk, broadband speed, crime data.
EHCP numbers, SEN support types, units and resourced provisions, broken down by need.
Line up four schools. Export the comparison as a PDF. Share with your partner on WhatsApp.
Search by postcode, phase, gender, religion, sixth form, boarding, 15+ filters.
Enter your postcode and circumstances. Get a percentage chance of admission before you apply.
We don’t guess, estimate, or scrape unreliable sources. Every figure traces back to a government or official dataset. Most update automatically, a few need a manual refresh when a new annual release drops.
If a field is blank, it’s usually because the source itself is blank, not something we’ve omitted.
See every dataset and its licenceSchools can’t pay to rank higher or appear more prominently. Schools can claim their profile to add photos and open day dates, but claiming doesn’t influence search results or league tables. No advertising. No sponsored placements. No data sold to third parties.

If a figure looks wrong, something’s broken, or there’s a feature you need, let us know. Feedback gets read and most fixes land in the next update.
