Talk ÍÑ¿ã°É's Top 250 Schools


Choosing the right school for your child is one of the most important decisions any parent will make. Our Top 250 Schools list has been curated following a rigorous process, spearheaded by our editorial panel and hugely experienced research team. Rather than relying solely on academic results or rankings, our team has spent thousands of hours snooping around schools, meeting heads and teachers, chatting to pupils and and tuning into the local grapevine to really get under the skin of what makes a school so special. The result isn’t a ranking or a tick-box exercise, but a carefully scrutinised selection of schools that genuinely stand out for the all-round quality of education they offer.

FAQ’s:

How are Talk ÍÑ¿ã°É's Top 250 Schools selected? 
Schools in our Top 250 are chosen by our editorial panel. We take into account a wide range of factors: everything from the obvious ‘quantifiables’ like academic results and facilities to the ‘unquantifables’ like local reputation and the views of parents and pupils.

Can schools pay for a place on Talk ÍÑ¿ã°É's Top 250 list?
No, schools cannot buy their way onto the Top 250 list - we retain complete editorial control. We have a strict firewall between our editorial and commercial teams in order to preserve our editorial integrity.
