FAQ
Common questions
Where does the data come from?
Schools' own admissions pages, ISI inspection reports and DfE open data. Each record shows its source and review date.
How current is the information?
Tracked schools are reviewed weekly. Fees refresh each admissions cycle, inspection ratings when a new report is out, and destinations yearly.
What does 150,000+ data points cover?
More than 150,000 sourced rows across roughly 670 schools. A full profile holds over 100 fields, from fees and results to inspection and destinations.
How do you compare schools fairly?
Every school has the same fields in one format. The Index uses nine public pillars, and thin data is flagged rather than guessed.
Do I need an account to research schools?
No. Browsing, full records and comparisons are open to everyone. A free account adds a saved shortlist, deadline tracking and your child's fit.
What if I find a figure that looks wrong?
Flag it and we re-check the primary source. Corrections apply for every parent.
