Media Reviews
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
Author Bio
The Good Schools Guide was founded almost 20 years ago by two journalists in search of schools for their children. It now comprises a team of over 50 editors, mostly parents but some former headteachers.
