Browse schools For parents
The single place to choose a school, you'll stand by.
Eight tools and a directory of 1,200 schools, built around the three things every family ends up doing: discover, compare, decide. Editorially independent. Source-labelled. Written by people who walk the grounds.
The parent journey
Three stages. Six months, on average.
Compare
Shortlist up to four schools and put them side by side on one screen, fees, deadlines, results, facilities and the editorial verdict in a single comparable column.
Open the compare toolDecide & apply

OpenThree promises
What you can hold us to.
A directory only works if parents can trust what they read. These are the three commitments printed on the inside cover of our editorial handbook, and the ones we expect to be held to.
- I.
No advertorial in editorial.
School verdicts and 12-axis ratings are written by editors who can't see who pays. Subscriptions fund the team but never decide what they write.
- II.
Every figure is labelled.
Fees, results, capacity, each comes with a source tag: school-verified, public, parent-submitted, or editorial estimate. No mystery numbers.
- III.
You leave with the registrar, not us.
Contact happens directly between you and the school. We don't broker, gate or skim the admissions conversation.
Start where the decision starts.
Search the directory, save a shortlist, and come back when you're ready. The shortlist persists in your browser, no account required to begin.
