- Summary
-
- Now in its 20th edition, this prestigious and inimitable guide features more than 1,150 of the UK's top state and independent schools.
- 'Like its predecessors, it's 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 the squawks from those it has offended.' Times Educational Supplement; 'Tells you how local state schools cater for your child - a school may be excellent for a [SEN] child...but terrible if they're gifted, and vice versa. We bought our house on the advice you offered. The GSG isn't just for the rich; it's for the responsible and conscientious.' Parent; 'One of the best aids to parents...informative, witty' Financial Times

- Summary expansion
- Now in its 20th edition, this prestigious and inimitable guide features more than 1,150 of the UK's top state and independent schools. The candid reviews, based on what parents, pupils and staff say about the schools and on GSG school visits (open or under cover), are simultaneously revered and feared by schools. No school can pay to be in the guide. The GSG alone decides; schools are in (or out) whether they like it or not. The new regional layout of the guide enables parents to focus on selected regions or individual areas, to find schools for the different ages and stages of a child's life. Parents can also easily identify the outstanding schools for music, art, sport and of course academic results. Who is this book for? Read by thousands of parents every year, The Good Schools Guide is a must-have book for any parents looking to choose a school for their child, ages 3-18. Selling points: Features 265 state and 888 independent schools, all personally visited and scrutinised; Expert advice on how to choose a school, how to secure a place and what to look out for when visiting schools
