Gabbitas has developed the online version of The Independent Schools Guide in response to reader requests for a website dedicated to searching the schools contained within the pages of the widely-read guide to independent education.

Visitors can browse online for the most suitable schools for their children according to their particular needs, which can be specified in detail.

Selecting key requirement enables searching for all school types. If you are particularly interested in places at single sex schools, selecting either boys or girls schools will help to find an initial selection. For those who would like to limit their browsing to schools in membership of the Independent Schools Council, this option is available.

Advanced filtering enables school searches to be narrowed further. Religious affiliation, a vital consideration for many families, can be chosen to search for independent schools of a specific faith. Bursaries and Scholarships, essential for those seeking specific school fees support, can also be selected. To ensure that academic needs are met, parents can tailor browsing for schools offering particular qualifications, including GCSE, IGCSE, A levels, International Baccalaureate (IB), the Cambridge Pre-U And SQA qualifications.

An ever-important factor when researching schooling options is location and The Independent Schools Guide online allows you to browse by region or within a particular county.

If you are seeking suitable educational provision for someone with a Special Education Need (SEN), please visit Special Needs.
