Private school research
Independent schools in England
Browse independent and private schools with performance data, inspection context, entry information and fee signals where available. Use the list and map below to compare outcomes, location and admissions practicalities before contacting schools.
Fees and bursaries
Fee data can vary by year group, boarding status, extras and scholarship or bursary support. Treat any fee signal as a prompt to check the school's latest published fee schedule.
Entrance exams and entry
Many independent schools use registration deadlines, interviews, entrance exams, references or trial days. Published entry details can change by year group and intake point.
Inspection context
Independent schools may have Ofsted or ISI inspection evidence. Compare inspection context with school profile, outcomes, curriculum and pastoral fit rather than using one signal alone.
Independent school FAQs
Can independent school results be compared directly with state schools?
Use caution. Independent schools can have different intake, curriculum, exam-entry and sixth-form patterns, so results should be read alongside fees, admissions and inspection context.
Does MySchoolHub show fees and scholarships?
Where published source pages can be found, MySchoolHub can surface fee, scholarship, bursary and entry information. Some schools do not publish full details clearly online.
Which inspection body covers independent schools?
Independent schools may be inspected by Ofsted or the Independent Schools Inspectorate depending on school type and membership. Always check the linked inspection source.
