Does it help to invent a market for schools and present parents with choice based solely on exam results, which are themselves a derivative of narrow curriculum decisions? NO — see @GdnSchoolsGuide for an alternative view of schools data, based on @SchoolDash

What’s more important when choosing a school, progress or attainment? We use both, alongside 8 other indicators in the Guardian Schools Guide. We even use some of the staff indicators to give parents another perspective: theguardianschoolsguide.co.uk #SchoolsGuide

Since exams have been called off, how are parents choosing secondary schools in England? Once a common yardstick of success, parents were left wondering how their local schools are doing. Wonder no longer: theguardianschoolsguide.co.uk #SchoolsGuide

What's the best school in England according to the Guardian Schools Guide? Drum roll.... It's a trick question. This is a different kind of schools guide and doesn't focus on which school is best, but which one is right for your child: theguardianschoolsguide.co.uk #SchoolsGuide

We know many families will be offered places today at schools they’ve never visited. If you’re in England and need to know more about a local state secondary school, we use 10 indicators to present a richer view: theguardianschoolsguide.co.uk #NationalOfferDay #SchoolsGuide

As families across the country receive secondary school offers, what can parents do if they’ve not had the chance to visit a school because of the pandemic? Every state secondary in England is in the Schools Guide: theguardianschoolsguide.co.uk #nationalofferday #SchoolsGuide

He’s in! He’s absolutely chuffed and rightly so. Despite the odd (okay, frequent) wobble along the way, he worked really hard for this and it means he’ll now be going to the same school as his brother. If you’re waiting for news today ... 🤞

Wonderful to see our sponsor @SchoolDash partnering with The Guardian to produce @GdnSchoolsGuide. Instead of focusing on league tables, they have chosen 10 indicators which can be personalised by parents according to what they weigh as most important. theguardianschoolsguide.co.uk
