Finding a school for your children is a big decision and there are many different things to consider. It’s a good idea to start gathering information as soon as possible, this way you will have plenty of time to plan visits to schools and ensure all applications are turned in within deadlines. Your local authority is a good place to start gathering information and help you make an informed decision. Most schools will have a prospectus and you can also access Ofsted reports as well as achievement and attainment data which are all readily available.
