About School Atlas

Choosing the right school is one of the biggest decisions a family makes. Yet the information parents need is scattered across dozens of government websites, council booklets, and inspection reports — most of it hard to find, harder to compare, and impossible to see on a map.

School Atlas changes that. We bring together data from 15+ official government sources across all four UK nations into one platform, so every parent has the same information advantage that private education consultants charge thousands of pounds for.

School Atlas isn't just for England. We cover every state and independent school across all four UK nations, with native support for each nation's inspection body and education system:

• England — Ofsted ratings, KS2 SATs, GCSEs, A-Levels, Progress 8, Parent View surveys
• Wales — Estyn inspections, Curriculum for Wales, Welsh-medium schools
• Scotland — Education Scotland grades, National 5s, Highers, CfE achievement levels
• Northern Ireland — ETI inspections, Transfer Test context, Translink transport data

All school data comes from official government sources licensed under the Open Government Licence (OGL v3.0). Our automated pipeline updates data regularly:

• School registers (GIAS) — weekly
• Inspection reports (Ofsted, Estyn, Education Scotland, ETI) — monthly
• Exam results and performance data (DfE, StatsWales, SQA) — annually
• Admissions data (council PDFs, AI-extracted) — annually
• Transport stops (NaPTAN, Translink) — 358,000+ stops nationwide
