Which School ??
For all those that are looking for a suitable school for their kids I have just been sent a link to a useful website which gives you all the info you require. I found it to be informative and saves a lot of research time.

Re: Which School ??
Like Ofsted reports, by all means use it as a starting point but it's not the be all and end all. It's the first time information like that has been available here and while it gives a snapshot of how a school performed on a particular day (when they do the NAPLAN tests - like SATS) like similar "comparisons" it omits as much as it includes. Nothing beats looking around different schools to see what they are like in action.

Agree with Ross. Our schools' 'results' for last year were not great - had a few issues that brought everyone down - the principal and two teachers all dying suddenly within three months of each other was a major component. However with a new principal and a change of mind set it's a brilliant place to be. None of that shows up on those reports.
