About FindGreatSchools
We believe every family deserves to find a school where their children can thrive — academically, socially, and culturally.
Our Mission
Choosing a school is one of the most important decisions a family makes. Yet finding the right fit — not just academically, but culturally and socially — can be overwhelming. FindGreatSchools was created to make this process easier.
We aggregate data from official government sources including GIAS, the Department for Education, and Ofsted to give you a complete picture of every school in England. Our demographic insights help you understand the community around each school, so you can find a place where your family truly belongs.
Our Data Sources
All data on FindGreatSchools comes from official, publicly available government sources:
GIAS — Get Information About Schools service, providing basic school information for 52,000+ establishments.
DfE Performance Tables — GCSE, A-Level results, pupil demographics, and destination data.
Ofsted — Latest inspection outcomes from Ofsted management information.
Privacy & Transparency
We only use publicly available, aggregated data. We never share individual pupil information. All demographic data is presented at school level and sourced from official DfE publications. Our goal is to empower families with information, not to label or rank communities.
