About UK Schools Info

UK Schools Info is a comprehensive, independent directory covering every state and independent school across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Our aim is simple: make it effortless for families, carers and school leaders to find trustworthy, comparable information about schools in their area and across the country.

We aggregate the latest available datasets released by government and regulators (such as pupil numbers, capacity, admissions, Ofsted outcomes and more) and present them in a clear, accessible way. Where information changes over time, we surface trends so you can see how a school is evolving — for example, pupil population and Free School Meals (FSM) percentages across multiple census periods.

This project is built by parents and school leaders who understand how hard it can be to piece together a full picture from scattered sources. That perspective informs everything we do: we prioritise clarity over jargon, context over headlines, and fairness over spin. Our goal is to help parents make confident choices and to help schools communicate more effectively with their communities.

We believe in balance and transparency. Where schools subscribe, they can add timely updates — events, term dates, messages from leadership — and respond to feedback. Where schools do not yet participate, we still publish a neutral, data‑driven profile so no family is left without a starting point. We clearly label sources and dates so you always know when information was last updated.

UK Schools Info will continue to grow: richer local insights, more helpful comparisons, and thoughtful analysis on national trends. If you are a parent, carer, governor or school leader and would like to suggest improvements or corrections, please reach out via the Contact page — this site is for you, and we build it with you.
