How it works

A quiet, structured way through a noisy decision

Most families begin with fifty browser tabs. This narrows that to a profile, a shortlist and a plan you can act on.

01

Tell us about your child

A short guided profile: age, intended entry year, personality, interests, English comfort and the things your family cares about most. No names, documents or medical details.

02

Review transparent matches

Each school is scored against the criteria you chose, with the weighting shown. You can see why a school appears and what you should confirm before believing it.

03

Compare properly

Place three schools side by side on aligned rows — boarding pattern, pastoral provision, English support, indicative costs and travel time.

04

Follow your application plan

A dated timeline for the year ahead, an indicative budget and a question list you can send straight to admissions offices.
